Illustrative script · not generated from your sources

A taste of the conversation.

Riley: You can get plenty of feedback and still miss what someone actually needs. So what should you ask?

Sam: Start with the last time they faced the problem. What did they try? What happened next? A specific story gives you something concrete to work with.

Riley: Something to try today, then: replace “Would you use this?” with “How did you handle it last time?”
