For strategy and corporate development teams

The workstream has a date and an executive audience, and the interviews are still run by hand or bought by the call. Strategy, BizOps and corporate development teams use Conveo to run customer and buyer interviews at volume. An AI research assistant runs video conversations in 50+ languages, and every finding traces back to the person who said it.

Why the interview program is the slowest part of the workstream

A market entry case, a portfolio review or a commercial due diligence needs to hear from customers and buyers, and it needs to hear from them before a committee date. The usual options are to run the calls yourself, which takes the team’s week, or to buy them one at a time.

Either way, the calendar sets the number of conversations. The first twenty calls get run carefully. The ones after that get squeezed, or cut.

The committee wants the conversations the calendar did not leave room for.

Three jobs Conveo does for strategy teams

Strategy teams keep the conversations that need them personally: the senior expert, the partner, the call that shapes the hypothesis. Conveo runs the rest of the interview program in your guide, in parallel and across markets.

Study liveBuyers in four new markets

Market entry

Hear how customers in a new market buy today, what would make them switch and what holds them back, in their own language. Field the same guide in several markets at once and compare them side by side.

What changes:

the entry case rests on what customers in that market actually said.

Interview in progressProbing on price and trade-offs

Portfolio and pricing

Test how customers see a range, a price move or an adjacency. The AI research assistant follows up in the moment, so every trade-off comes with the reasoning behind it.

What changes:

portfolio calls carry the customer’s reasoning as well as the score.

Themes readyCustomer interviews, traced to source

Commercial due diligence

Run customer interviews on a target’s market, positioning and switching risk at the volume the deal clock allows, with every finding traced to the clip behind it.

What changes:

more customer conversations fit before the committee date.

Why findings hold up in front of a committee

A committee will ask where a finding came from. Every theme in Conveo links back to the clips and verbatims behind it, so you can show the source the moment someone asks.

Participants are real people, verified by video. Your team writes the guide, sets the criteria and owns the interpretation. The AI research assistant runs the sessions, probes the unexpected answer and keeps every conversation on the same core questions.

Every finding traces back to a real person who actually said it.

How Conveo works with your expert network

Expert networks are the right source for specialist and senior voices, and most strategy teams already work with one. Conveo sits alongside them.

Keep the expert calls you want to lead yourself. Bring participants from your own customer lists, or from the network you already use, and Conveo runs the interviews around those calls in your guide.

Conveo works next to your expert network.

Why the next workstream starts from what this one found

Strategy questions come back: the same market next year, the same category in another deal. The Knowledge Layer keeps every study in one searchable place, so the next workstream starts from what the last one heard.

  • Search across every interview program your team has run
  • Ask follow-up questions of past studies without fielding again
  • Compare themes across markets and waves
  • Turn findings into reports and slide decks for the committee pack
  • Open the same findings to other teams through the Conveo MCP server

Each workstream leaves the next one better informed.

Questions strategy teams ask before a first study

It follows your guide and probes each answer, following up on the unexpected point the way a good interviewer would. For the conversations that need a particular senior voice, many teams lead those themselves and use Conveo for the rest of the program.

Alongside it. Expert networks remain the right source for specialist voices. You can bring participants from your own lists or from a network you already use, and Conveo runs the interviews in your guide.
