STEP 1 — The principle: Customer talks > customer surveys > customer dashboards. The fastest way to founder intuition is direct conversation.

STEP 2 — Pipeline build: Identify 25 customers worth talking to — 10 active, 5 churned, 5 prospects, 5 partners. Mix tenure, segment, plan.

STEP 3 — Outreach template: Per customer, personalised email — 'I'm doing 5 customer calls a week, would love your perspective on X. 30 min, no pitch'. Lower the friction.

STEP 4 — Calendar: 5 slots blocked weekly — same time each day to build rhythm. 30 min per call. No more than 1 per day.

STEP 5 — Per-call structure: Min 0–3: rapport + recording consent; Min 3–25: their world (what they're trying to do, what's working, what's not); Min 25–30: thanks + follow-up.

STEP 6 — Capture: Auto-transcribe (Otter / Riverside). Within 24h, 1-paragraph synthesis + 2 quotes worth keeping. Tag in research repo.

STEP 7 — Weekly sharing: Friday — 1 Slack post in #voice-of-customer with the week's themes + best quote. Builds team intuition.

STEP 8 — Quarterly synthesis: Every quarter — what changed in customer voice, what's emerging, what's resolved. Feed into strategy.

OUTPUT: Pipeline + outreach + calendar + call template + capture + sharing + quarterly synthesis.
