1 Know your research goals and questions

Before you start any consumer insight research, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to learn and why. What are the main objectives of your research? What are the key questions that you want to answer? How will you use the insights to improve your products, services, or marketing? Having a clear research plan will help you focus your efforts and avoid wasting time and resources on irrelevant or redundant data. It will also help you communicate your research goals and questions to your customers, so they understand the purpose and value of your research.

Have a clear understanding of "who" you want to talk to and make sure it is an accurate representation of your consumer/customer/client base. We can have bias in who we recruit which leads to less than representational learning.

2 Choose the right research methods and tools

Depending on your research goals and questions, you may need to use different research methods and tools to collect and analyze consumer insights. Some of the common methods and tools include surveys, interviews, focus groups, observation, experiments, analytics, and social media listening. Each method and tool has its own advantages and disadvantages, so you need to weigh them carefully and choose the ones that suit your needs and budget. You also need to consider the ethical and legal implications of your research methods and tools, and ensure that you respect the privacy and consent of your customers.

3 Build rapport and trust with your customers

When conducting consumer insight research, it is essential to build rapport and trust with your customers. To do this, introduce yourself and your research team, explain the background and goals of your research, and use a friendly and respectful tone. Show genuine interest in their opinions and feelings, and acknowledge their concerns or frustrations. Ask open-ended questions that encourage customers to elaborate on their thoughts and experiences. Utilize active listening skills such as nodding, paraphrasing, summarizing, and asking follow-up questions. Additionally, avoid leading or biased questions that may influence or distort responses, as well as interrupting, judging, or arguing with customers. Lastly, thank them for their time and feedback and follow up if necessary.

Be mindful of the non-verbal cues that you are providing as it can lead the client. Nodding can help someone open up but it also indicates you are in agreement and can prompt them to continue in a certain direction in an effort to please. Also be comfortable with silence. Be aware of any judgment you might have or that comes up in you as you are interviewing or observing the interview and dismantle it. And the best follow-up probe is simply "Tell me more about that"

4 Analyze and interpret your consumer insights

After you have collected your consumer insights, you need to analyze and interpret them to draw meaningful conclusions and recommendations. You need to look for patterns, trends, gaps, and opportunities in your data, and relate them to your research goals and questions. You also need to validate and triangulate your data, by comparing and cross-checking different sources and methods of data collection. You need to be aware of your own biases and assumptions, and avoid jumping to hasty or inaccurate generalizations or inferences. You need to present your consumer insights in a clear and compelling way, using visual aids, stories, or examples to illustrate your points.

You need to test and measure the impact of your changes, and monitor the feedback and satisfaction of your customers. You also need to communicate your consumer insights and actions to your stakeholders, such as your team, your management, or your partners, and show them how your consumer insight research has helped you achieve your business goals.
