Here’s a quick introduction on how Pointerpro works, brought to you by myself.
“We use Pointerpro for all types of surveys and assessments across our global business, and employees love its ease of use and flexible reporting.”
Director at Alere
“I give the new report builder 5 stars for its easy of use. Anyone without coding experience can start creating automated personalized reports quickly.”
CFO & COO at Egg Science
“You guys have done a great job making this as easy to use as possible and still robust in functionality.”
Account Director at Reed Talent Solutions
“It’s a great advantage to have formulas and the possibility for a really thorough analysis. There are hundreds of formulas, but the customer only sees the easy-to-read report. If you’re looking for something like that, it’s really nice to work with Pointerpro.”

You can create a simple questionnaire in Excel by listing questions in one column and providing space for answers in adjacent cells. Use data validation tools (like dropdowns or checkboxes) to guide responses and conditional formatting to flag missing data. While Excel works for basic setups, it lacks logic routing, scoring, and reporting—making dedicated tools better for more advanced assessments.
A good assessment balances clarity, structure, and purpose. It asks relevant, well-phrased questions, aligns with specific goals (like diagnosing gaps or collecting insights), and uses thoughtful logic or scoring to deliver personalized outcomes. The best assessments don’t just collect data - they convert it into decision-ready insights.
Start by defining your assessment’s objective: Are you qualifying leads, training employees, or guiding strategy? Next, identify your key audience and the insights you need from them. Outline sections or question groups based on this flow, then decide how results will be used or reported. A clear plan upfront ensures your assessment delivers value, not just data.
Before publishing, test your assessment internally or with a small pilot group. Check for logic errors (e.g., broken branches), question clarity, and time to completion. Reviewing response data and user feedback will help you refine both the experience and the results. Testing ensures your assessment performs reliably and reflects real-world use.
To activate an online assessment, publish it through your assessment platform and share the access link via your website, email, or social channels. Most tools also let you embed the questionnaire on your website or trigger it through automation workflows. Once live, monitor responses and analyze results to keep your insights actionable and current.
