FAQs
How do your interviewers know the right questions—and the right follow-ups—to ask?
Our qualitative research experts partner with you to define objectives up front. They use proven frameworks to ask the right questions, and active listening skills to ask thoughtful follow-ups that dig beneath the surface and uncover context you wouldn’t get otherwise.
Can we combine Live Interviews with Flex Interviews?
Yes. Many customers run both side by side—using Live Interviews for deep, nuanced feedback, and asynchronous, AI-led Flex Interviews for broader coverage. Together, they give you a scalable feedback system with both depth and breadth.
What’s the value of using Clozd instead of running interviews ourselves?

What credentials or experience do Clozd interviewers have?
Clozd interviewers are seasoned qualitative research professionals—many with MBAs and deep expertise across industries. They’re trained to identify Decision Drivers, uncover blind spots, and synthesize actionable insights.
What do we actually get back from a Live Interview?
Each interview is transcribed, analyzed, and delivered in the Clozd Platform, where you can see individual responses, important themes, and strategic recommendations that drive impact across your customer journey.
