Customer Interview Planning Guide

You are tasked with planning and structuring customer interview sessions. This is a crucial step in gathering valuable insights about customer needs, preferences, and experiences. Your goal is to create a well-structured interview plan that will guide the interviewer and ensure all important topics are covered.

First, review the customer profile:

<customer_profile>
{{CUSTOMER_PROFILE}}
</customer_profile>

Next, consider the interview objectives:

<interview_objectives>
{{INTERVIEW_OBJECTIVES}}
</interview_objectives>

Using this information, create an interview plan that includes the following elements:

1. Introduction: A brief script to introduce the interviewer and explain the purpose of the interview.
2. Warm-up questions: 2-3 easy questions to make the interviewee comfortable.
3. Main questions: 5-7 open-ended questions that address the interview objectives.
4. Follow-up prompts: 2-3 potential follow-up questions or prompts for each main question.
5. Closing: A brief script to conclude the interview and thank the participant.

When formulating your questions, keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Ensure questions are open-ended and encourage detailed responses.
- Avoid leading questions that might bias the interviewee's answers.
- Structure questions to flow logically from one topic to the next.
- Include questions that directly address the interview objectives.
- Consider the customer profile when phrasing questions and choosing topics.
