Customer Interview Script (Autostay)
Create a structured interview script that surfaces real insights from Autostay subscribers or partner car wash businesses. Follows "The Mom Test" principles β ask about their life, not your idea. Includes two built-in interview templates specialized for Autostay's O2O car wash subscription service.

Customer interviews are one source in Stage 1 (Explore) of continuous discovery. Other sources: stakeholder interviews, usage analytics, data analytics, surveys, market trends, SEO/SEM analysis. The PM needs direct access to users, stakeholders, engineers, and designers β "without proxies." The Product Trio (PM + Designer + Engineer β Teresa Torres) should work together on discovery, not just the PM alone.
Context
You are preparing a customer interview script for research on $ARGUMENTS in the context of Autostay.
If the user provides files (personas, hypothesis lists, product briefs, or previous interview notes), read them first.
Built-In Interview Templates
When the user does not specify a template or requests one, offer these two options:

Instructions
-
Clarify research objectives:
- What specific questions does the team need answered?
- What decisions will this research inform?
- What assumptions need validation?
- Which template (ꡬλ
μ or ννΈλ) is most appropriate?
-
Create the interview script with these sections:
Opening (2-3 min)
- Introduce yourself and the purpose (learning, not selling)
- Set expectations: "μ λ΅μ΄λ μ€λ΅μ μμ΅λλ€. κ²½νμ ν΅ν΄ λ°°μ°λ €κ³ ν©λλ€."
- Ask permission to record (if applicable)
- Confirm time available
Warm-Up: Context & Background (5 min)
- Use template-specific warm-up questions above, or customize
- Goal: Build rapport and understand their context
Core Exploration: Jobs to Be Done (15-20 min)
Current situation and behavior (past tense, specific instances):
- "κ°μ₯ μ΅κ·Όμ [μΈμ°¨λ₯Ό λ°μΌμ /μΈμ°¨λ₯Ό νμ ] κ²½νμ μ²μλΆν° λκΉμ§ λ§μν΄ μ£ΌμΈμ."
- "μ΄λ€ λ°©λ²μ΄λ λꡬλ₯Ό μ¬μ©νμ
¨λμ?"
- "μΌλ§λ κ±Έλ Έλμ? λ€λ₯Έ μ¬λμ΄ κ΄μ¬νλμ?"
Pain points and frustrations (observe, don't lead):
- "κ·Έ κ³Όμ μμ κ°μ₯ μ΄λ €μ΄ λΆλΆμ 무μμ΄μλμ?"
- "λ§λ² μ§ν‘μ΄κ° μλ€λ©΄, 무μμ λ°κΎΈμκ² μ΄μ?"
- "μ΄ λ¬Έμ λ₯Ό ν΄κ²°νκΈ° μν΄ μ΄λ€ μλλ₯Ό ν΄λ³΄μ
¨λμ? κ²°κ³Όλ μ΄λ λμ?"
Desired outcomes (their words, not yours):
- "μ΄ μμμμ 'μ λκ³ μλ€'λ 건 μ΄λ€ λͺ¨μ΅μΈκ°μ?"
- "κ·Έκ² μ λκ³ μλμ§ μ΄λ»κ² μ μ μλμ?"
Willingness to pay / priority (skin in the game):
- "νμ¬ μ΄κ²μ μκ°μ΄λ λμ μΌλ§λ μ°μλμ?"
- "λ λμ λ°©λ²μ μ°Ύμ보μ μ μλμ? 무μμ μ°ΎμΌμ
¨λμ?"
Probing Techniques
Use these when you hit an interesting thread:
- "μ’ λ λ§μν΄ μ£ΌμΈμ" β opens up any topic
- "μμ?" (asked gently, 2-3 times) β gets to root causes
- "ꡬ체μ μΈ μλ₯Ό λ€μ΄μ£Όμ€ μ μλμ?" β moves from opinions to facts
- "κ·Έ λ€μμ μ΄λ»κ² λμλμ?" β follows the story
- "κ·Έλ μ΄λ€ κΈ°λΆμ΄ λμ
¨λμ?" β captures emotional intensity
The Mom Test Rules
- Ask about their life, not your idea
- Ask about the past, not the future ("μ΄λ° κ±Έ μ°μκ² μ΄μ?" is useless)
- Talk less, listen more β aim for 80/20 split
- Never pitch during the interview
- Look for strong emotions β they signal real pain or delight
- Compliments are noise β "μ’μ κ² κ°μμ!" tells you nothing
Wrap-Up (3-5 min)
- "μ κ° λ¬Όμ΄λ³΄μ§ μμμ§λ§ μ€μνλ€κ³ μκ°νμλ κ²μ΄ μλμ?"
- "μ΄ μ£Όμ μ λν΄ μ΄μΌκΈ°ν λ§ν λ€λ₯Έ λΆμ΄ κ³μ κ°μ?"
- Thank them for their time
- Share next steps (if any)
-
Customize the script: Adapt questions to the specific product area, persona, and research objectives. Use the built-in templates as a starting point when applicable.
-
Include a note-taking template:
μ°Έκ°μ: [Name / ID]
μ ν: [ꡬλ
μ / ννΈλ / μ μ¬ κ³ κ°]
λ μ§: [Date]
ν΅μ¬ Job: [What they're trying to accomplish]
νμ¬ μ루μ
: [What they use today]
κ°μ₯ ν° λΆνΈν¨: [Their #1 frustration]
μνλ κ²°κ³Ό: [What success looks like]
μ§λΆ μν₯: [How much they invest / would invest]
μμ λ° λ°κ²¬: [Something unexpected]
νμ μ‘°μΉ: [Next steps]
Save as markdown. Include both the script and the note-taking template.
