Problem
How to interview your most important clients?
Dealing with extremely valuable customers is a tough task when a company wants to undertake market research. Why should a top manager spend 10 minutes of his valuable time with an interview that might be boring to him? Why should a high net worth individual allow his bank to answer some questions? The answer is an interesting approach that might give back some individual feedback.
