Leaders in these organizations are often mystified when end use customers behave in
seemingly inexplicable ways, contrary to what seems rational. They often think the key to
success revolves around “educating” customers, based on the idea that “smarter”
customers will choose their products and services over alternatives.
But what’s really going on here? Why do some customers make these “bad” choices?
There must be value that these customers see in alternatives that the organization does
not. If that’s true, then what is the root source of the value/s that drive these customer
choices?

About Market Mapping
Respondent Selection:
Perhaps the most important set of assumptions to be tested reflects the
perceived differences and similarities across customers – the market
segmentation strategy. The people we target for interviews have to be carefully
selected from relevant segments, or the results may be discounted because
“you didn’t speak with people who represent the XYZ segment”. Recruiting the
right respondents is often difficult and time consuming but it is critical to the
credibility of the results.
Data Collection:
Considerably more sophisticated than closed-end surveys, the “peel the onion”
nature of In-Depth-Interviews requires superior interviewing skills and a
thorough knowledge of the market environment. Our consultants bring years of
experience to this task, as well as to the integration, synthesis and analysis of
the data.
