Dear Qualitative Research Manager:

If you'd like to find out what other companies of similar size and scope are doing to ...

  • Develop and review RFPs for their important qualitative projects

  • Screen and hire the most suitable qualitative researchers/moderators

  • Identify productive, creative respondents without biasing their samples or skewing research results

  • Develop effective, rich discussion guides which get strong buy-in from internal clients, agency personnel, and qualitative consultants

  • Avoid the entanglements of unspoken or conflicting project agendas

  • Leverage alternative  media such as online focus groups, telephone interviewing, and in-home interviews on video

  • Take advantage of recent technological developments in recruiting, project management, and interviewing procedures

  • Maximize the back room experience without leaping to conclusions

  • Effectively manage the reporting and presentation process for maximum impact and ease of internal assimilation & actionability

  • Discover prices paid for qualitative research consultants

  • Alleviate the biggest concerns, frustrations, and needs related to
    selecting and using qualitative research consultants.

  • And learn, much much more!  (The BIG goal is to help streamline the entire qualitative process and increase efficiency of working with consultants and analysts)

    Then I'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to become a contributor to the qualitative researcher's best practices guide!

  • Your time investment would be a 25 - 30 minute guide contribution call with a member of The Livingston Group at a convenient time for you
     

  • You'd be compensated $100 cash for your time ... or alternatively, we can make the contribution to your favorite charity
     

  • But most importantly, ONLY contributors will receive a copy of the guide!
     

In closing I'm in great hopes that you'll be able to contribute because its a small time investment for a very significant value.
 

Warmest Regards,

Brian Therrien
