Customer & user interview templates

Customer interview

Customer interview questions

A ready-to-run set of open-ended customer interview questions that get past opinions to real behavior — what people actually do, where they get stuck, and what they'd change.

View template
Customer interview

Customer discovery interview questions

Discovery questions designed to validate a problem, not sell a solution — so you learn whether the pain is real, frequent, and worth paying to fix before you write a line of code.

View template
User interview

User interview questions

Behavioral, non-leading user interview questions that reveal how people actually work and where your product helps or gets in the way — grounded in real tasks, not opinions.

View template
JTBD interview

Jobs-to-be-Done interview questions

A JTBD interview walks backward through a real purchase to find the job the customer hired your product to do — the trigger, the struggle, the alternatives, and the moment they decided.

View template
Churn interview

Churn & cancellation interview questions

Questions that get past the 'too expensive' checkbox to the real reason a customer left — the moment value slipped, the expectation that went unmet, and what would have kept them.

View template
Win-loss interview

Win-loss interview questions

Questions for the people who chose you and the ones who didn't — surfacing the real evaluation criteria, the deciding factor, and where your sales story landed or missed.

View template
Onboarding interview

User onboarding interview questions

Questions that retrace a new user's first hour — what they expected, where they hesitated, and the moment (if any) they finally saw the value.

View template
Pricing interview

Pricing & willingness-to-pay interview questions

Questions that explore how customers think about value, budget, and alternatives — so you price to perceived value instead of guessing or copying competitors.

View template
Feature validation

Feature validation interview questions

Questions that pressure-test a feature idea against real behavior — so you learn whether people actually need it before it goes on the roadmap.

View template
Persona research

Persona research interview questions

Questions that build personas from real conversations — capturing goals, context, workflows, and frustrations so your personas reflect behavior instead of stock photos.

View template
Satisfaction interview

Customer satisfaction interview questions

Questions that turn a satisfaction score into a story — what customers value most, what quietly frustrates them, and what would move them from satisfied to loyal.

View template
Concept testing

Concept testing interview questions

Questions for putting an early concept, mockup, or value proposition in front of real users and getting reactions you can trust — not the polite enthusiasm that kills products.

View template
B2B SaaS

B2B SaaS customer interview questions

Questions tuned for B2B software, where the person who uses the product often isn't the one who pays for it — so you can hear from the user, the champion, and the buyer.

View template
Ecommerce

Ecommerce customer interview questions

Questions that retrace an online shopper's real journey — how they discovered you, what nearly stopped the purchase, and whether they'd come back.

View template
Fintech

Fintech user interview questions

Questions built for financial products, where trust, security, and anxiety shape every decision — so you learn how users really manage money and what earns their confidence.

View template

View template
For sales

Sales discovery call questions

Discovery-call questions that qualify the deal and uncover the buyer's real pain, priority, and process — so you sell to the actual problem instead of pitching features.

View template
For customer success

Customer success interview questions

Questions for QBRs and account health checks that go beyond 'everything good?' to real adoption, value, and risk — so you spot churn early and expansion when it's ready.

First-click test

First-click test questions

A lightweight test of one powerful signal — where users click first — because getting that first click right dramatically raises the odds they complete the task.

FAQ

Questions about the templates.

Are these interview templates free?

Yes — every template is free to use. Copy the questions, adapt them to your product, and run your session. No signup required to read them.

How do I choose the right template?

Pick by what you're trying to learn. Use a customer discovery template to validate a problem, a JTBD template to understand a switch, a churn template to learn why customers leave, or a usability test template to evaluate a specific flow. Role- and industry-specific versions tailor the questions further.

How should I analyze the interviews afterward?

Record and transcribe each session, then pull the recurring pain points, requests, and quotes across conversations. Intervool does this automatically — it transcribes each interview, extracts structured insights, and rolls them up into themes, personas, and a prioritized roadmap.

Can I run these interviews in Intervool?

Yes. You can add any of these questions to an interview in Intervool (or save them as a reusable template), capture the conversation, and let AI synthesize the results — so the template turns into insight, not just notes.
