Stages of CustDev Interview

1

Analysis and preparation

We formulate the objectives of the study: which hypotheses need to be tested, which information is important to obtain. We dive into the specifics of the product, the audience and the context.

We coordinate the target audience segments and focus topics. We determine who we will interview and how: current customers, loyal ones, departed ones, potential ones.

2

Script development of the castdev interview

Creating a custom list of questions and blocks based on goals. We prescribe transitions between topics, options for clarifications, and criteria for selecting respondents.

3

Selection and verification of respondents

We find suitable interlocutors manually or with the involvement of the customer's database. We conduct screening by profile, motivation, and experience. We set a convenient interview time, confirm participation and give a short brief.

4

Conducting interviews and collecting data

We conduct a series of interviews (on average 30-60 minutes), record quotes, emotions and nuances of behavior. If necessary, we record and transcribe. Focus on open-ended questions, understanding real motivations and user experience.

5

Presentation and recommendations

We process the received data, identify patterns, patterns, and repetitions. We draw conclusions on each question and hypothesis. We separate facts from interpretations. We generate short and extended reports.

We present the result in a clear format: a list of insights, segment conclusions, product recommendations, marketing, and strategy. If necessary, we create a map of pains, tasks, triggers, and suggestions for improvements or A/B tests.

Why would a business conduct CustDev interviews with clients?

CustDev (Customer Development) is a series of in—depth interviews with your customers or potential audience and the basis of an informed product strategy. Castdev is, in simple terms, research that helps to find out what people really need, what their pains are, how they make decisions — and why they choose (or don't choose) your product.

The casting interview begins a project that understands the real needs of the audience, values, barriers, and decision-making logic. Without customer research, you're working blindly: launching features, campaigns, and products that may turn out to be unclaimed.

For businesses, CustDev is a way to:

  • understand who really buys your product (and who doesn't, and why);
     

  • test an idea, MVP, or hypothesis before starting development or large-scale advertising;
     

  • identify what value customers see in a product — and how they formulate it.;
     

  • reduce the cost of inefficient features, design and marketing;
     

  • increase conversions on the website and funnel by eliminating key barriers and misunderstandings;
     

  • develop product and marketing based on data, not intuition or guesswork.

Casting is the first step towards product management and I understand which segments to focus on, which pains to solve first, and how the real value of the product sounds in the language of the client.
