I wonder if this post will reach an Arabic - English moderator who is experienced in the same. I'm looking for an online focus group moderator with a finance background. Sessions are remote, 60–90 mins, paid.
I’m looking for recommendations for affordable software to run a conjoint survey. I’ve looked at some of the major conjoint platforms, but their pricing is way too high for what I need.
I don’t need a huge enterprise package. I’m mainly looking for something that can set up a solid conjoint experiment, collect responses, and ideally handle the basic analysis.
Has anyone used a cheaper platform or tool that they’d recommend? Open-source or academic-friendly options would also be great.
Thanks!
Hey everyone,
I'm almost 29 and about to finish my PhD in English Lit (did my BA and MA in it too). I've reached a point where I realize academia and teaching just aren't for me at all.
I want to pivot entirely into the corporate world.
I am really interested in market analysis, consumer behavior, research, and the psychology behind how people think.
The problem is I can't afford to do an MBA right now due to my age and other commitments.
Since my entire background is purely academic, I honestly know absolutely nothing about how the corporate world works. I am starting from ground zero and have no idea how any of this operates.
I am hoping you guys can help me figure this out:
What exact job profiles or titles should I even be searching for?
Where and how do I look for my first job in this field?
What specific skills or tools should I start learning right now to make myself employable?
I'd really appreciate any advice or reality checks, especially from anyone who has made a similar jump from academia or a non-corporate background into the corporate sector. Thanks!
i work in export sales and this happened to me recently. we were looking at a new market and the numbers looked pretty good on paper. Growing demand, decent market size, all that stuff.
Then I started looking at the companies actually operating there. And... it was a very different picture.
A lot of the companies from the report weren't really relevant to what we sell, while some smaller companies I hadn't even heard of seemed much more active.
Kinda made me realize there's a big difference between "this market is growing" and "there are actually companies buying my product."
How do u guys usually bridge that gap when researching a new market?
Do u start with market reports and statistics, or go straight into company level data?
What would be the easiest way to do analysis on relatively simple projects without having Q - would it be SQL? Pivot tables isn’t what I’m after.
I’m looking for some advice on how to move forward with my career.
I have 9yrs experience in Forsta, and my current role doesn’t offer me any progression or promotion opportunities.
I’m struggling to find new roles and I’m feeling stuck, do I need to get out of market research? (UK based)
We may have access to a very large set of valid physical addresses to use for general population surveys. I've never recruited for that kind of thing via mailers (I'm thinking postcard with QR code) only via panels.
Any perspectives on response rate? I'm thinking we'd do a $5-10 digital gift card incentive, perhaps capped to the first X number of respondents to safeguard our budget.
Or other success/horror stories?
So I’m looking to start a business, but I’d like to interview and find out from target users whether there is actually a need for my business/product.
How do I conduct market research like this? Where and how can I find target users?
