Cohort-based Course

Learn to conduct customer insight interviews - so you know what your customers want most and how to deliver it to them.

Course overview

Most people "think" they know what their customers want, but have never asked.

Is that you? Are you... flying blind.


Are you trying to build your business based guesses and untested ideas. Going to market with a "build it and they will come" mentality.


Reality is, that's a huge risk. And it's no way to build a sustainable business.


The most successful businesses lead with a customer-centric approach. They take the time to talk with and listen to their customers, understanding them deeply. And so should you.


Why?


As an expert in your customers, it's easier to know what to offer. And how best to sell and deliver, the right things, at the right prices. It enables you to build and grow your business with more clarity and purpose.


The Customer Compass, helps you learn how to successfuly conduct customer insight interviews. So you can get answers to the questions you have, directly from your customers.


A must have skill for anyone building or growing a small business.
