Summary

If you're not talking to your customers and listening to their feedback, your product is destined to struggle. However, sending highly targeted, open-ended questions can be far more valuable than surveys in gathering insights from customers. It's essential to plan ahead before sending a research message to ensure you're targeting the right audience with the right question at the right time. This involves defining who you want to ask, what type of answer you're looking for, and how you'll ask it. The questions should be clear, concise, and polite, and the responses should be documented and shared with the team to facilitate discussion and decision-making. Ultimately, the research findings should be actionable and visible to everyone in the organization to prevent customer insights from becoming siloed. By following these steps, you can gather reliable and valuable insights from your customers that will help you improve your product and build a closer relationship with them.
