Just what does "Mindsearch Expert" mean? It means we are passionately committed to research and to your project. It also means we possess a unique expertise at digging deep below the surface to explore your customers' underlying attitudes/core motivations and how these impact behavior. We will take you far beyond your current level of customer understanding to the place insight resides. In this place, the real strength of your brand, product, service or message also exists.

Traditional qualitative research relies heavily on the word "why." Many researchers seem to think a few well-designed probes will get beyond rationalizations. Instead, "why" forces the rationalizations to exist. When faced with direct questions regarding behavior they don't understand, it is human nature for respondents to make educated guesses and avoid challenging topics. To use a court room metaphor, "We object. Calls for speculation." Simply put, they just don't know.

Our researchers have a thorough understanding of human nature coupled with a keen sense of observation and intuition. These tools allow us to probe beyond rationalizations. We use our skills as behavioral and attitudinal researchers to determine what is underlying respondent motivations and truly driving customers. Instead of the flat snapshot traditional qualitative work provides, our approach leaves you with a rich, dimensional portrait of your target audience.
