Conducting interviews is one of the best ways to gain insight from consumers. This method of research has the potential to provide more in-depth feedback than other methods. It is important to choose the interview type - such as online, mobile, one-on-one, phone or in-depth - that fits best with your project.
These specialized companies can provide everything you need to help with your interviewing needs, including research professionals who are trained to ask the right questions to get the most valuable and accurate insights from respondents. Many companies also offer interviewing for various specialities, like medical, mall and executive interviewing.
