Overview

October 2023 Qcast

Do you hesitate to take on some B2B projects because you fear it will be impossible to find enough participants that meet your stakeholder’s very narrow criteria? You know the drill, “we want to talk to architects who use fire-retardant coatings for steel beams…. In municipal buildings.” 

Does your study require finding a super niche audience that isn’t readily available from your preferred B2B qualitative sample providers?

Fear no more. We have invited some experts at sleuthing out these “unicorns” to join us in a panel discussion of just how they work their magic. From recruiting standard industry executives to uncovering the super niche audiences as well as options for DIY-ing it…we plan to cover it all!

This Qcast is a collaboration with QRCA’s B2B SIG.
