Examples

Three polls a sales team sends every week

Internal alignment, prospect signal, deal triage — without adding a meeting.

Internal
Which deal should the team focus on this week?
Acme — $120k, mid-cycle
Northwind — $80k, early but hot
Contoso — $200k, stalled
Globex — $45k, ready to close
When to send: Monday morning to AEs + SE. Replaces the 30-min triage call.
Buyer pulse
Which feature would unlock budget for you?
SSO & SAML support
Audit log export
Public API access
Custom roles & permissions
When to send: Mid-cycle to a prospect's evaluation team. Anonymous, so buyers answer honestly.
Pricing test
At what annual price would this be a no-brainer?
$15k
$25k
$40k
$60k+
When to send: To 20 warm leads before pricing a new tier. Real signal, low friction.

Why it works

Signal without the calendar tax

Every poll is a meeting you didn't have to schedule.

Higher response than forms

A vote button inside an email outperforms an embedded Typeform link 3-5×. Recipients answer in seconds.

🤐

Anonymous by default

Buyers tell you the truth about budget and competitors when their name isn't attached to it.

📊

Live results dashboard

Watch votes roll in. Decide when you've got enough signal. Close the poll, screenshot, share with your team.

📤

Export to CSV

Pro users export results for QBR slides or Salesforce notes. Per-poll, with timestamps.

FAQ

Sales-specific questions

Can prospects vote honestly without it feeling like a survey?

Yes. A vote button inside an email feels like answering a friend, not filling out a form. Response rates run much higher than embedded SurveyMonkey or Typeform links — most reps see 40-60% on a warm list.

Is voting anonymous so buyers can be honest about budget?

Yes. Each vote is private to the sender. Recipients see only their own pick; you see the aggregate counts. There's no public leaderboard or list of who voted what.

Can I poll my SDR team and my buyers from the same Gmail account?

Yes. Polls are stored per Gmail user. Send internal polls to your team and external polls to prospects from the same inbox; they all appear in your dashboard.

Does it work with sequenced email tools like Outreach or Salesloft?

The poll HTML is generated inside Gmail's compose window. If your sequencer sends through your Gmail account (most do), the poll travels with the email. For external SMTP senders, copy the poll's recipient view from your dashboard into your sequence template.
