If you’re regularly talking to your customers or clients (and I hope you are), I have a question to add to your list.

I’m adding it courtesy of Asia Orangio, CEO of DemandMaven and Jobs To Be Done aficionado. (JTBD remains a topic for another day.)

It’s this:

“What are some places you hang out online?”

Simple, kind of obvious…but I bet not something you’d think to ask systematically. (Certainly not something I’d have thought to ask.)

I’ve written before about how I recommend gathering Voice of Customer data.

And my favourite customer interview question.

But this simple addition adds an extra level of depth. It points you in a new direction for discovery. (And gives you an idea of where you can potentially advertise to your ideal customers.)

It’s like wishing for more wishes!

Happy Tactical Tuesday,
James

P.S. I saw Asia’s list of questions during this session of SparkToro’s Office Hours.
