This module empowers learners to confidently gather customer insights through well-designed surveys. It begins by establishing the core difference between qualitative and quantitative research, showing how brands like Netflix and Airbnb use both to succeed. Learners then get a practical, step-by-step guide to building a survey, from choosing question types to writing for clarity. The module culminates in a hands-on project where learners create and justify their own five-question survey, solidifying their ability to turn business questions into actionable data.
