NEXT Partner Webinar: 3 Truth-Seeking Questions Every Founder Should Ask Customers & Prospects

3 Truth-Seeking Questions Every Founder Should Ask Customers & Prospects

Maybe you’ve heard this amusing movie quote: “That’s enough about me, let’s talk about you. What do you think of me?” Unfortunately that’s how too many companies – especially early-stage founders – interact with prospects and customers. Too much talking and too many slides ABOUT US and THE PRODUCT!

That leads us to another quote you may be familiar with: “Successful companies first fall in love with the customer’s problem, not their own solution.”

It’s true. Startups need to ask about and understand customers’ real-world priorities and challenges BEFORE they launch into their pitch and value prop. But what questions do you ask to discover the customer’s truth? And how do you “listen between the lines” to make sure you’re hearing what’s most important to THEM?

In this session, customer discovery expert Bob London will give you immediately actionable tools, resources, and techniques to help you have more strategic, revealing customer and prospect conversations, including:

• Disruptive questions to understand their real-world business drivers and true priorities.
• Deep listening techniques to maximize insights.
• Templates and tips to guide your prospect / customer conversations.
