Interview Plan & Recruiting
12-20 customer interviews scheduled and conducted, mix of buyers and non-buyers, recorded and transcribed.
Surveys, interviews, and analytics that tell you who's actually buying. Not personas built from imagination — buyer profiles built from real customer data.
of marketing teams operate from personas that have never been validated against real buyers. We fix that.
of accurate audience insights combine qualitative interviews with quantitative usage data. We do both.
of brands report better creative performance after grounding messaging in audience research data.
Most personas are built from a Google Doc and a couple of sales calls. The result: marketing that talks past the actual buyer. We replace guesses with data — qualitative interviews, quantitative analytics, and synthesis that sticks.
We start by interviewing 12-20 actual customers (and prospects who didn't buy). Real conversations about what they were trying to do, what almost stopped them, and what closed the deal. Pattern-match across the conversations to identify the 2-3 dominant buyer profiles.
We layer in analytics — site behavior, conversion paths, segment performance from your CRM and ad accounts. The result is a buyer profile that explains both what they say AND what they do. Marketing teams use it for messaging. Sales teams use it for objection handling.
12-20 customer interviews scheduled and conducted, mix of buyers and non-buyers, recorded and transcribed.
Site analytics, CRM data, and ad-platform behavior data analyzed for usage patterns and segment differences.
Two to four buyer profiles backed by data — including buying triggers, objections, and decision criteria.
Step-by-step from awareness to advocacy, with friction points and emotional state documented per stage.
Specific copy and positioning shifts based on what real buyers said matters — not what you wish mattered.
How to use the research in ads, content, and sales — operational, not theoretical.
We do the work. Not 'here's a survey' — actual 30-minute conversations with people who actually pay you.
Interviews tell you why. Analytics tell you what. Together, they tell you the truth.
Specific, evidence-backed buyer profiles your team can actually use — not 'Marketing Mary, age 32.'
Every insight comes with a 'so use it like this' implication. Research that ships.
Best for project briefs, scope questions, and longer conversations.
