In this short video, the speaker explains how, over the past decade, decision‑makers in the business world have begun to expect the same level of ease, convenience, and friendliness they experience with consumer products. To meet these expectations, the speaker outlines a B2B‑focused research approach that includes three steps: (1) interviewing current customers to uncover real‑world pains and successes, (2) recruiting and speaking with market prospects to gather broader insights, and (3) presenting prototypes or landing pages to people unfamiliar with the product to collect unbiased feedback. The speaker argues that these soft‑launch tactics are especially valuable—and perhaps even more critical—in B2B contexts, accelerating product success by grounding development in real user needs.
