Express Market Research: Quickly Understand Your Customer and Their Potential
Forget the hundred-page report packed with statistics that no one reads. Market research that truly delivers is first and foremost a tool for action: fast, focused, and immediately actionable. In just a few hours, you'll learn to answer the three questions that decide the fate of a project — who your customer is, how they behave, and what place your idea can truly carve out in the market. You turn intuition into an informed decision, without spending weeks on it or a consulting-firm budget.
The method is concrete and unfolds step by step. You start by targeting a precise segment — a group of customers with a clear problem and defined purchasing power — to avoid the scatter that kills so many projects. You then learn to dig out the truth on the ground: interview real customers, read their behavior, and decode what the competition reveals to you. Because competitors aren't an obstacle: they're proof that a market exists. Finally, you measure demand — volumes, trends, seasonality, barriers to entry — not to obtain perfect figures, but indicators sufficient to size your potential and make the call.
By the end of this training, you'll walk away with your own express market research, ready to guide your choices and to persuade. You'll know how to present it to a partner, a banker, or an investor, and you'll turn it into a true compass: it illuminates the opportunity, steers your strategy, and reinforces your project's credibility. You'll have acquired a reflex that will serve you with every new idea — decide fast, but decide right.

Program — 9 one-hour sessions
A short, action-oriented path: you build your own express market research as the sessions progress. From customer targeting through to the decision, every step produces a concrete, actionable deliverable.
Module 1 — Frame and target (sessions 1-3)
1. Market research as a tool for action — breaking free from the myth of the thick report; the 3 key questions (who, how, what place) and what an express study must truly produce in order to decide.
2. Segment your market — breaking the market down into precise segments and choosing the one with a clear problem and real purchasing power, to avoid scatter.
3. Draw the customer profile — building a persona: your target's needs, obstacles, budget, and purchase triggers.
Module 2 — Dig out the truth on the ground (sessions 4-6)
4. Interview real customers — preparing and conducting express interviews and a mini-questionnaire that surface real information, not pleasantries.
5. Analyze the competition — mapping existing solutions, reading their strengths and weaknesses through customers' eyes, and spotting opportunities for innovation.
6. Find your place and differentiate — positioning your offer against competitors and formulating the value proposition that sets you apart.
Module 3 — Measure and decide (sessions 7-9)
7. Size the demand — estimating volumes, trends, and seasonality with quick sources; aiming for sufficient indicators rather than perfect figures.
8. Assess the potential and barriers — quantifying the reachable market, identifying barriers to entry, and judging whether the opportunity is worth the risk.
9. Synthesize and persuade — condensing your conclusions into a clear express study, ready to guide your decisions and present to partners and investors.
