A useful starting point
A questionnaire for member referral interest.
Understand whether members can explain an association to others. Choose the questions that fit the experience you are investigating; avoid asking people to evaluate a step they did not encounter.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.
Which benefit would you mention first?
The benefit mentioned first identifies what a member can explain most concretely. Use that context to improve accurate referral material without implying the same benefit matters to every audience.
What would make it easier to explain membership?
Explanation barriers reveal unclear membership scope, terminology or available information. Provide a verified resource that addresses the gap rather than encouraging members to invent benefits or eligibility claims.
What question would a prospective member ask?
Anticipated questions expose information prospective members would need before deciding. Clarify actual terms and activities without equating a member's prediction with direct evidence from prospective applicants.
Would you prefer to share a resource independently?
Independent sharing preferences help distinguish a useful resource from pressure to introduce someone personally. Offer an optional route without treating willingness to refer as permission to disclose another person's details.

Before you send it
Check what your wording assumes.
Would you agree that member referral interest was a completely positive experience?
Who might find the membership useful?
The initial wording assumes a positive evaluation. The revised question asks about the actual situation so a respondent can describe difficulty, uncertainty, or a different experience.

Make questions optional where appropriate. If you add a rating scale, label its endpoints, keep one idea per question, and retain a follow-up for reasons. These examples are not a validated measurement instrument.
From question to next step
Make the feedback useful.
Set the decision
Write down the decision you want this questionnaire to support: understand whether members can explain an association to others.
Invite relevant voices
Invite people who experienced the relevant situation. Explain response handling and include an optional skip or not-applicable route. Interest in referring someone is not consent to share their personal details.
Choose an action
Provide an accurate shareable resource without collecting third-party contact details.
A worked interpretation example
From a comment to a practical next step.
Illustrative scenario. These are not customer results.
Keep the finding specific
Example members recommend a benefit but lack a concise explanation of who it suits.
Choose an action to test
Provide an accurate shareable resource without collecting third-party contact details.
Check the experience again
After testing the action, revisit this original observation: Example members recommend a benefit but lack a concise explanation of who it suits. Repeat the relevant experience prompts with people who encountered the change. Compare specific explanations and sample differences; do not claim causation from the before-and-after responses.
Read the answers carefully
What the answers cannot tell you.
Interest in referring someone is not consent to share their personal details.
Example members recommend a benefit but lack a concise explanation of who it suits. This is an illustrative interpretation problem rather than a real customer result. Provide an accurate shareable resource without collecting third-party contact details.
Before you send it
Questions, answered.
What should I learn from this member referral interest questionnaire?
Understand whether members can explain an association to others. Start with one decision you can act on rather than using the survey to confirm a preferred answer.
How should I interpret answers to “Which benefit would you mention first?”?
Read this answer for the concrete issue behind the response. Interest in referring someone is not consent to share their personal details. Compare specific explanations instead of reducing every response to one average.
What would a practical next action look like?
Provide an accurate shareable resource without collecting third-party contact details. This is an example action to investigate, not a guaranteed improvement.
When should I send this questionnaire?
Ask after respondents have experienced the specific situation in the first prompt: “Who might find the membership useful?” Allow enough time after a proposed change for people to experience it before repeating the questionnaire.
What should I check after changing the process?
After testing the action, revisit this original observation: Example members recommend a benefit but lack a concise explanation of who it suits. Repeat the relevant experience prompts with people who encountered the change. Compare specific explanations and sample differences; do not claim causation from the before-and-after responses.
