Data quality, whether it be from online, telephone or face-to-face, is of the utmost importance to the work we do. Below are some examples of the audiences we can speak to:
Buyers & specifiers
We know how to access the people who make purchase decisions for equipment and supplies. These include health and safety, technical and procurement personnel as well as senior management. They could be based in head offices, on oil rigs or in temporary offices in the far-off corners of the world. Interviews are typically conducted by telephone or online.
Distributors
Distributors and merchants are crucial in the distribution of chemicals. They figure often in our studies as they play a vital role in moving chemicals to small and medium-size firms. Interviews with this group are mainly carried out by telephone.
Manual workers
There are times when the views of people on the ground who do the job are needed. They know whether products work, and while they may not purchase them, they can certainly influence whether or not they are purchased and used. This group can be hard to access as they are not sitting in an office. We will use the telephone and if necessary paper questionnaires. We will also meet them in person with a clipboard in hand.
Senior decision makers
Groups such as directors, VPs and company owners may not directly order products themselves, but they certainly influence the decision, especially if the cost or strategic-importance is high. Accessing these audiences isn’t easy but it is possible with the correct approach. The telephone is the most popular means of interviewing these people.
