Why B2B discovery is hard to staff
Consumer product teams can recruit testers in hours. B2B teams often struggle to find five accountants who use a particular ERP module, or warehouse supervisors willing to try a prototype on a weekday.
Relying only on existing customers creates blind spots, since you mainly hear from people who already chose you. We recruit outside your base through local recruiters who understand the roles and industries involved. Participants are screened on the tasks they actually perform, not only their job title, so your sessions are spent learning rather than explaining basics.
Formats for every stage of the product cycle
We support research from early exploration to launch:
- Discovery interviews to understand workflows, pain points and workarounds
- Concept and prototype tests with target users in their own language
- Pricing and packaging conversations with budget holders
- Short B2B surveys to size a problem across a wider audience
- Customer advisory panels that meet regularly to react to roadmap ideas
Your team can run the sessions directly, or we can arrange an experienced moderator in the relevant language. Sessions can be recorded where participants consent, which makes it easier to share findings with engineers and designers who could not attend.
Entering new markets with confidence
Product decisions change when you cross a border. Invoicing rules, procurement habits and tool preferences differ between Germany, France and the Nordics, to name a few.
Because our recruiters live and work in the markets they cover, we can quickly recruit local users to test localisation, onboarding flows and messaging before you commit engineering time. Testing early in each country tends to be far cheaper than fixing assumptions after release. When your next discovery cycle is coming up, tell us who you need to hear from and we will suggest a realistic plan.
