Product & Service Feedback
Product Feedback Interview
A product feedback interview is a conversation with a customer about how they use your product in their daily work. It reveals what they value, what gets in their way and what they have worked around without telling you. Here are the questions to ask, from real usage to wishes, in a natural spoken order.

Tips for a useful conversation
- Start with real recent usage rather than opinions: what people did last week is more reliable than what they say they like.
- Ask why before noting a feature request, because the need behind it matters more than the solution suggested.
- Stay neutral when you hear criticism and avoid explaining how the product works, so the customer keeps talking.
- Speak to a mix of enthusiastic, average and unhappy customers, not only the ones who answer every survey.
- Tag each answer by theme in the days after, so that product decisions can point back to what customers actually said.
Mistakes to avoid
- Pitching upcoming features or defending design choices instead of listening.
- Asking leading questions such as “Don't you think the new dashboard is easier?”
- Treating a single loud customer as the voice of the whole base.
- Turning every wish into a promise, which sets expectations the roadmap cannot meet.
