Customer experience interviewing.
Learn about your customers experience and the difference you make for them - in their own words.
This resource outlines the process to plan, run, and learn from a quick round of interviews.
For best results:
- Don't aim to cover too much when you start - treat this as an introduction to the process
- Focus on the mindset shift - listening to understand, rather than to sell or educate.
The goal is to understand the customer's world on their terms, then you'll be better able to design services to meet their needs.
