Recommended Consultants

I understand that a lot of companies would love to have someone come in and run research studies or teach their staff how to interview.

People often ask me if I do consulting, but since I’m already running a software company, I don’t currently do consulting or coaching myself.

That’s why I’m happy to recommend the following:

Consultancies

Asia Orangio, Demand Maven. Their customer-insights gathering is generally focused on a specific growth goal, such as troubleshooting an issue or GTM.
- They’ve done large-scale research projects (100+ interviews, qualitative coding, and so forth) and well as smaller projects (10-12 interviews).
Scott Burleson, The AIM Institute. Services include training & coaching for customer interviewing and running research studies.
- Scott is also the author of The Statue in the Stone on Jobs to be Done, another good read!
Yann Vermouth, Vendbridge
- Scott and Yann co-host the Product Quest podcast, which is worth listening to!
The Rewired Group. Founded by JTBD legend Bob Moesta, Rewired Group conducts studies and trainings.
