Question bank

Six questions to ask small business customers

Questions about what they did, not what they think of you

Question bank of six interview questions for small business customers, in three groups: the last purchase, choosing you and coming back.
Six questions you can read out loud on a phone call.

Six interview questions for owners who want to hear from their own customers. They ask about the last purchase, the choice between you and the alternatives, and what happens when the customer needs the same thing again. Read them out loud on a call or add them to a text interview. Follow a vague answer with: when was the last time that happened?
