Diving straight into it →

  • What can you tell us about yourself?
  • What are you using [your product] for?
  • How is your life better thanks to it?
  • What made you sign up for our product / buy from us?
  • Did you consider any alternatives to our product / buying from us? If so, which ones / how many?
  • Which doubts and hesitations did you have before completing the purchase?
  • What’s the one thing that nearly stopped you from buying from us?
  • Which questions did you have, but couldn’t find answers to on the website?
  • What was your biggest challenge, frustration, or problem in finding the right product?
  • Anything else you would like to tell us?

Are you conducting user interviews? If so, I’ll recommend you check out this article where I condense everything I learnt from CXL Institute’s user centric marketing masterclass. Paid course content for free.

Sometimes, you don’t want to interview existing customers. In those cases, a good outreach messaging strategy comes handy.

Also, I’m really good with outreach messages.

Ridiculously good.

I can help you get these results as well.

At startup friendly rates ranging from $1/hr to $12/hr.

Free if it’s through email.

As you can tell, I’m not here for the money.

I just enjoy marketing way too much. Happy to help any way I can.
