Running customer tests is usually a side job, and the tools and habits behind it differ from one company to the next. This report shares what 453 people from more than 350 companies said in the 2018 Customer Validation Industry Survey, where three in four were not satisfied with how their programs were performing.
You will see how process maturity, a patchwork of generic tools, and the struggle to prove ROI shape results, along with what industry leaders do differently, how managers spend their time, and where they learn best practices.
