B2B Telephone Research Interviewer for Short 5-Minute US Business Survey

We are conducting a short B2B pain-point research study with US businesses. This is NOT a sales, appointment-setting, lead generation, or pitching project. The goal is purely to collect structured research data about operational friction inside businesses. The research focuses on topics such as: recurring tasks that create unnecessary work manual processes and repetitive administration chasing people for updates duplicate data entry information spread across multiple places manual handoffs between people or systems delays, mistakes, reporting issues, and operational bottlenecks how often these issues happen and how much staff time they consume where business information currently lives, such as email, spreadsheets, messaging apps, documents, or multiple software tools how many people are involved in the process the business impact when the process is delayed or goes wrong what companies would most like to improve how important the issue is over the next 12 months basic company context such as respondent role, company size, and industry You will receive: a prepared list of US businesses and phone numbers a fixed call opening the exact research questionnaire a structured spreadsheet for recording every response The interview should normally take approximately 3–5 minutes when a respondent agrees to participate. Your responsibility is to: Call the businesses on the provided list. Explain clearly that this is a short business research survey and not a sales call. Follow the questionnaire accurately. Record the respondent's answers in the provided spreadsheet. Capture open-ended answers as accurately as possible rather than rewriting them into sales language. Record the result of every attempted call, including no answer, wrong number, refusal, callback requested, or completed interview. Do not sell anything, pitch services, book meetings, or try to convert the respondent into a lead. We are running an A/B test with two independent callers. The total pilot list will be divided randomly into two equal groups: Caller A receives 50% of the companies Caller B receives the other 50% Both callers will receive the same script, questionnaire, instructions, and data-entry format. We will compare the two callers based on: calls attempted contact rate completed interviews completed interview rate quality and completeness of responses accuracy of notes consistency of data entry cost per completed interview This is an initial pilot project. If the research produces good-quality data, there may be a significantly larger follow-up project.
