4 Types of Customer Interviews

It’s easy to get excited about doing customer interviews, only to wander aimlessly.

This can be a symptom of skipping a foundational step: clarifying what specifically you’re looking to understand from your customer.

Knowing what you’re seeking to understand will determine which type of customer interview to use.

Here are four types of customer interviews and what each type is designed to understand:

Type 1: Buyer Journey

Type 2: Churn/Win Back

Type 3: User Interviews

Type 4: Brand & Positioning

It’s tempting to cram one than one type into a typical 30–45 minute customer interview. When this happens, you’ll end up only scraping the surface, instead of getting a deep dive look into their preferences, behaviors and goals.

Questions to ponder:

👉 Have we clarified what we’re trying to understand with our customer interviews?

👉 Are we trying to do multiple customer interview types on one customer interview call?
