Write Open-Ended Questions
Open-ended questions invite detailed responses and give users room to share their genuine experience. Good questions:- “What made you decide to try our product?”
- “What was confusing about getting started?”
- “What’s one thing we could improve?”
- “How do you typically use this feature?”

| "Was the pricing clear?" | "What was your reaction to our pricing?" |
| "Is the product easy to use?" | "Walk me through how you use the product day-to-day.” |
