Tips for Success

Invest time in customization The more context you provide to Charles in Step 2, the more tailored and effective your research plan will be. Don’t rush this step. Always test before launch A 10-minute test conversation can save you from discovering issues after participants have completed interviews. Keep your research focused Resist the urge to ask about everything. Focused studies that go deep on 4-6 topics deliver more actionable insights than broad studies that skim many topics. Write for your participants Use language your customers understand. Avoid internal jargon in your questions.
