Customer Interviews
These services involve organizing and conducting structured interviews with a company’s user base to gather valuable insights into their experiences, needs, and perceptions of the product. Research shows that 90% of consumers consider customer service to be a factor in deciding whether or not to do business with a company.
While often times considered time-consming, this service is essential for SaaS businesses as it bridges the gap between product developers and users. It encourages a deep understanding of the customer journey, identifies unmet needs, and uncovers opportunities for product enhancement. A recent report shows that involving users in the product development phase can reduce the time spent on design fixes and increase user satisfaction.
Through direct engagement, businesses gain firsthand knowledge of customer satisfaction, areas of improvement, and potential changes that could be key in driving user retention and reducing churn rates.
Our Approach to Customer Interviews
