Hello leaders! Welcome to the eighth episode of the Leadership Forum. This episode is all about how to deeply understand your audience through market research. {Want to catch us when we go live? Head on over to the Thought Leaders Think Tank}
Whoever you serve, it’s important to know them intimately. When you’re clear on who is in your audience (and what they want and need), you’re able to create content and messaging that builds stronger relationships and makes more sales.
The best market research comes from asking the right questions. This episode of the Leadership Forum dives into why we sometimes avoid market research, the questions we’re already inherently asking, how to better frame our research questions, and how to take imperfect action {rather than getting stuck in research paralysis mode}.
