Conducting a 72-Hour Flash Survey for Tariff Impact Insights from Commercial Leaders
Challenge
To better understand how commercial leaders are responding to the 2025 tariff escalation, a consulting firm conducted a flash survey on tariff impacts among commercial leaders at organizations with $100M+ in annual revenue.
The GLG Approach
The GLG Surveys team served as a thought partner to develop the right survey design and question formats to increase engagement and inspire thoughtful, timely responses. Working closely with the client, the team reviewed the draft survey for a compliant, effective, and short 11-question flash survey covering the impact tariffs have on their approaches to revenue growth, pipeline, budgets, customer engagement, and pricing.
GLG delivered data collected from 150 commercial leaders within 72 hours.
Outcome
The survey responses shaped the four strategic recommendations to protect revenue and accelerate growth amid tariff challenges in 2025.
