Needs & Behavior

Why people really buy.

Understand your audience's triggers, barriers and substitutes — at JTBD depth, with real substance instead of 5-point scales.

What it is

A clear answer, evidenced in the wording.

Konsoul conducts a combination of critical-incident technique and jobs-to-be-done interviews. You learn not just what gets bought, but what people did right before and after — and where they nearly walked away.

Common questions

  • What trigger really puts people into buying mode?
  • Which alternatives are considered — and why are they rejected?
  • At which point in the customer journey do we lose the most people?
  • Which job gets “hired” — and which is just the vehicle?

How it works

In days, not weeks.

03
