The problem it solves

Companies often fail to understand their customers true needs and frustrations, relying on outdated assumptions; current market research methods can be expensive and ineffective.

How it makes money

Consulting service.

Skills you need

Strong communication and interviewing skills, experience in market research, and analytical skills to interpret findings.

The market, and why this works now

The rise of remote work has increased the demand for effective virtual market research methods. Offering services through platforms like Zoom allows for efficient and cost-effective interviews with customers, enabling businesses to gain insights into their pain points. A practical first step for generating revenue is to join relevant Slack communities focused on entrepreneurship and small business growth, where potential clients seek expert advice. However, a challenge is the time-intensive nature of conducting thorough interviews and analyzing the data, which may limit scalability in the early stages of the business.
