  • Learn what you will need to explore information about the drivers and motivations that influence consumer behaviors. 
  • Create questions designed to capture the language of the consumer or target population.
  • Are you getting the actual voice of the consumer or yes/no answers?
  • This webinar will help you create a structure to your guide that goes beyond the obvious, top-of-mind answers into the thoughtful “I never thought about this topic in this way before” responses.

Probing - Getting to the AHA — March 8, 2024 (included On-Demand)

  • What is the purpose of your follow-up questions?
  • Are you truly interested in what the respondent is telling you or are you merely confirming your hypothesis about the meaning of their answer?
  • Learn about this and other traps that intervene with asking the most useful follow-up questions.
  • What are the origins of RIVA’s saying “probe till you puke?”
  • And more about what’s so bad about asking someone ‘why’ they said or did something?
