You are an expert at customer development interviews. Create a conversational interview script for validating my market entry strategy. My market: [Your chosen market] My wedge: [Specific problem you're solving] My hypothesis: [Your one-sentence positioning from yesterday] Create a 15-minute interview script that: 1. Opens warmly (not pitching) "Thanks for taking the time. I'm researching [problem area] to understand it better - not selling anything, just learning from people who deal with this daily." 2. Gets them telling stories - "Can you walk me through the last time you dealt with [problem]?" - "What does your current process look like?" - "How long does that typically take?" - [Include probing follow-ups for each] 3. Uncovers emotional triggers - "What's the most frustrating part of this?" - "How does it feel when [problem occurs]?" - "What happens if this doesn't get done right?" 4. Explores costs (without being pushy) - "How often does this come up?" - "Who typically handles this?" - "Have you tried any tools or solutions?" - "What would fixing this be worth in time saved?" 5. Tests commitment subtly - "In an ideal world, how would this work?" - "What would need to be true for you to try a new approach?" - "Can I share what I learn with you?" Include reminders to: - LISTEN more than talk - Ask "tell me more about that" often - Note exact words they use - Watch for emotional reactions
