Five steps to ensure you don't waste customers' time or yours

About this video

Customer conversations are the most powerful tool for mapping out how & why buyers, buy things   People will tell you to "talk to your customers" but no one really shows you HOW. Talking to them is the most powerful method for deeply understanding how & why customers do things. This is the process I've used to run hundreds of interviews for B2B customers; that unlock the insights your business needs. 

In this video you will learn:

- Choosing the type of interview you need - Setting research objectives - Who to interview  - Where & how to find people - How to conduct the interviews

Ryan is a life-saver and eye-opener. I booked a call with him to discuss press strategy for an upcoming announcement for one of my clients. His experience working in investigative journalism coupled with his kind and happy-to-help attitude left me feeling confident and grateful for his time. He has a wealth of information and is someone I'd love to grab a beer with some day. Thank you, Ryan!

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the mentorship session on growth that we recently had. Your insights and guidance have been invaluable to me, and I feel so fortunate to have you as a mentor. The session was incredibly informative and provided me with a new perspective that I can employ for my personal and professional development. I was particularly impressed by your ability to provide clear and concise explanations, as well as your willingness to share your personal experiences and expertise. Thank you so much and looking forward to reconnect in the future!
