Interview here, Interview there.
We created a Value Proposition Canvas and a Business Thesis template during last week's activity, and now it's time to really get to know our customer during this week's activity. This week, I understood how vital it is to develop a relationship with the target customer, because the team is having trouble discovering people who are selling in the market, which is one of our target customers is public market sellers. But before the actual interview phase, the team gathered and brainstormed to formulate hypothesis which is our assumption towards the effectiveness of our solution to the customer, and to be honest this took a lot of time because the team really examining all the possibilities and after that the come up with the interview question to really know the pains of our target customers.
After formulating the interview questions, at this point the team interviewed people, in our case we interviewed two types of user, the consumer and the sellers. Although sometimes it is frustrating because the respondents is very minimal with their answers(hahaha), but as what the instructor said the customer's pain is very important, we do not create our own solution, but we create solution based on the pains of the customers, and for me that was an eye opener I realized at that point that the solution the we are making is pointless if we base our solution on our own rather than from the customer's pain. The interview is smooth we gain a lot of insights from the respondents and sometimes we relate from them especially in their frustration with the traffic, overall the first interview session for the customer discovery was fun and great and the team is hoping for more insights and hinanakits of the customers in the coming interview sessions.
The team's moral is very high for the coming weeks and we are more eager to discover our customers.
