Customer Research for the C-Suite:
A crash course in
customer discovery for
founders, execs &
key decision makers

Customer Research for the C-Suite (CRCS) is a
1-day workshop for founders and key decision makers
at early-stage tech startups who are spearheading customer discovery on the winding road to finding product-market-fit.

“There’s an art to question design and Hannah knows it. Her work will benefit us far into the future.”
Jonathan Sinclair, Program Manager at Shopify Plus

CRCS is right
for your team if:

You have proof of concept with a few beta users

but the value of your product is still in hypothesis

l

Funds and resources are limited so customer discovery

is a hat most of the team has to wear

g

You've googled how to run customer interviews but

you haven’t had any practical training in customer interviewing

Learnings are siloed and scattered across multiple documents —

making key findings hard to share across teams

Finding product-market fit is a
hugely valuable process for
your team to understand

Lots of companies try to shortcut validation — but finding product-market fit is a slow burn and a pivotal milestone in your startup growth

With key decision makers at the front lines of customer discovery you’re poised to use learnings to pivot in real time

With a few simple tools and steps, I can help you

Maximize your customer conversations and embed
simple research processes
into your workflows

You'll walk away with simple techniques & actionable insights on how to:

f
Embed research into product and business decisions
d
Ask the right questions and avoid biased feedback
i
Extract key findings and actionable insights from your data
l
Choose the right methods (and learn when to do each)
w
Structure a call to get the most out of a customer interview
z
Share insights across the team so none get lost or go to waste
