How to Launch a B2B Buyer Feedback Program: 3 Tips

Learn how we capture in-depth buyer feedback—and how it can transform your business.
Key takeaways
Perfection is the enemy of progress: Do not wait until you have a massive budget. Start small with a regular cadence of interviews and scale up. Programs require active tuning: A buyer feedback initiative is not a "set it and forget it" project. You must continuously align your interview questions with your current strategic drivers. Buyer truth ends arguments: There is no faster way to build internal credibility than replacing subjective executive opinions with direct quotes from your buyers.
When Product Marketing Managers and revenue leaders decide to formally implement win-loss analysis, the most common hurdle is simply figuring out how to get the initiative off the ground.
To help organizations navigate this launch phase, we sat down with Sanjay Puri, the Vice President of Product Marketing at Avalara (NYSE: AVLR). Having spent years building demand generation engines and defining core product positioning for companies like Microsoft, HP, and Oracle, Sanjay understands exactly what it takes to build a revenue-driving feedback engine.
When asked, “What advice would you give to other product marketers looking to launch a post-decision interview program?” Sanjay shared the following three tips.
Sanjay Puri
VP Product Marketing, Avalara
1. "Start the damn program."
The biggest mistake organizations make is waiting for the perfect time, the perfect budget, or the perfect list of target accounts.
According to Sanjay: "The first tip is: start the damn program. It doesn't matter how big you make it. Start with a few interviews—two, five, ten, or twenty per month. Choose whatever number makes sense at a regular cadence that is right for your business and budget."
The goal is to establish a baseline of qualitative data. Once the executive team begins seeing the value of those initial interviews, securing the budget to scale the program becomes significantly easier.
2. Don’t "fire and forget."
A successful buyer feedback initiative is an operationalized program, not a one-time research project. B2B markets move fast, and your interview strategy must adapt to those changes.
"Continue to monitor the program closely," Sanjay advises. "It's not 'fire and forget.' Look at the results and then start to hone in on exactly what you want to achieve. Sometimes you go into it with a hypothesis, and other times you match the program with whatever your strategic drivers are. Then, fine-tune it until you are getting what you need out of the program."
There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Your interview questions in Q1 might focus heavily on a competitor's new feature release, while your Q3 interviews might pivot to test the resonance of your newly launched pricing model.
3. Use buyer feedback to build credibility.
Internal alignment is often derailed by conflicting executive opinions. The most powerful tool a product marketer or revenue operations leader has is objective market truth.
"There is no better way for product marketers to gain credibility within an organization or to gather support for initiatives than bringing the voice of the customer into the equation," Sanjay explains. "Cite a customer testimonial, and all arguments come to an end because that's the end of opinions. Opinions, while very interesting, are not very valuable. Direct customer feedback is."
Bringing direct buyer feedback into executive meetings is one of the most effective ways to make yourself credible, align the product roadmap with actual market needs, and secure cross-functional buy-in.
