The first time I did a customer interview I made a rookie mistake. 🤦🏽‍♀️
Right after the call my then-boss called me out:
“Hannah.
An interview is NOT a survey read out loud.
You can’t just read down a list of questions.
If you don’t respond to engage and respond to what they’re actually saying…
you’re missing out on a ton of insight.”
I was so embarrassed.
But he was right.
I could feel the disconnect.
The script was a nice crutch.
But it stifled the conversation.
What’s worse, I left the interview knowing I’d missed a bunch of insights we needed for the project.
12 years and 1000s of interviews later my clients willingly pay me $30K+ to get inside their customers’ heads.
Why?
Because they know:
The customer delight we can engineer from all that data will help them make even more money.
You and I both know that
every big name copywriter and marketer swears by customer interviews
If you don’t know how to deliberately build rapport and lead the call…
chances are high you’re walking away from the interview with voice of customer data that’s incomplete or misleading —
And copy or messaging that’s not as strong as it could be.
Not to mention that even though you’re DOING THE HARD THING and talking to customers, when interviews go poorly, it’s hard to think it’s not you.
….what are you missing?
….what do the big names know that you don’t?
….what’s actually standing between you and the quoteable, swipeable, only-from-an interview data you’ve heard so much about?
But for all the emphasis on talking to customers...
no one’s really going over how to run those magical interviews where your copy basically writes itself
Some even give you scripts and frameworks with the basic do’s and don’ts of the interviewing process.
But what about when a customer reels off a short answer to one of your big, pre-planned questions?
And how do you guide the customer towards deeper waters and help them open up?
Here's the tough truth:
All those scripts and question lists won’t make you a better interviewer or get you those juicy insights
You don’t need to be an extrovert or have a psych degree to learn how to do it.Â

"I WENT IN THINKING I WAS A NATURAL BUT..."
“I went into Hannah’s workshop thinking I was a natural at interviews. But I learned that a lot of things I felt were right and even really smart were actually NOT the way to approach convos with a customer. Really eye-opening!”

PERSONAL FEEDBACK
ON YOUR INTERVIEWING
For up to 1 month after the workshop, send me 30 minutes of an audio interview you conducted and I’ll give you personalized feedback.
I’m limiting the masterclass to 15 seats because I want there to be a good variety of voices and perspectives, but for it to still feel intimate.
You’ll leave this masterclass with
a newfound confidence
and the know-how to…
Add customer interviews to your offers & charge for it
You can either do this as a separate offer (like me — my entire business is customer research and customer interviews are a BIG part of that). Or you can include interviews as an EXTRA line item in existing offers and charge more for it.
Prove your messaging decisions to clients & leadership
Voice of customer data is a POWERFUL trump card in decision-making. Clients and managers are WAY less likely to push back on copy or messaging if they know the data behind it. Plus you’ll feel way more confident in your decisions, too.
Get more impressive results you know you can repeat
Once you know the skills and psychology of interviewing, you’ll get better with each interview, which means the insights you collect and the confidence in your understanding of the customer (and in your copy) will only and inevitably GROW.Â
