What Is Your Clientele Hiring You To Do?
Today we discuss the Jobs To Be Done Interview.
Once you have your ideal customer profile and personas locked in place the next step is going to be to interview them.
If you’ve already got customers, you can use the Jobs to Be Done Framework.
Josh Braun, has a killer template inside his Bad Ass B2B Growth Guide that I use when we sign on new clients.
What’s great about this is that unless you’ve held the role of your customer, which many of us haven’t, (I'll never be an MD) you normally can’t speak their language naturally.
That’s why much of the marketing that's out there tends to be filled with buzz words and generalities that lead to low conversion rates.
When you interview customers they will give you the exact pain, problem and issues they deal with daily.. in their own words!
That will allow you to speak more fluent “Clientese”
If you don’t have customers yet, and you’re pre revenue, reach out to the persona that is in your ICP.
In this, you’ll ask similar questions to a Jobs to Be Done Interview but, they’ll be focused mainly on theoretical assumptions.
So questions like:

These questions will allow you to speak to your customer, truly understand their problems and tie your product into each as a solution.
