I help B2B businesses run customer interviews that don't suck / Founder @ content lift 🎈

We specialize in buyer research interviews for B2B.
We start booking 1:1 conversations with your ideal buyer 72 hours after launching your project.

You get first-party data to build go-to-market programs that influence buying decisions.

- Their roles and responsibilities 
- The business process buyers are responsible for
- How problems and challenges manifest in this process 
- How do they try to solve these problems
- How and why they prioritized various solutions 
- Buying triggers and catalysts of change
- Their perceptions of vendors/solutions in the market 
- How buyers select and evaluate vendors
- Buying committee members and what they care about 

I've logged 23+ years in Marketing, Sales, and Business Development.
I mentor and teach Customer Discovery & Market Research for early-stage startups.  
I worked three years as an investigative reporter.
I've interviewed over 2300 people in my career.
I've worked with over 200 businesses of all shapes and sizes.
