HOW WE WORK
Nexus directly recruits and screens respondents from our verified expert network and supplements with custom recruitment to deliver in-depth interviews with the right people, not self-selected panel respondents.
Step 1
Direct Recruitment and Screening
We recruit respondents directly from our network of 120,000+ verified professionals across industries and geographies. Custom screeners filter for your exact specifications, seniority, job function, sector, company size, buying authority, and any domain-specific criteria before invitations are sent. Recruitment begins within 24 hours of brief sign-off. We conduct targeted direct outreach when your requirements exceed standard database coverage.
Step 2
Expert Moderation and Live Observation
Every interview is conducted by an experienced qualitative moderator briefed on your industry context and research objectives. Moderators follow a structured discussion guide designed around your specific research question probing deeper when unexpected themes emerge. Your team can observe sessions live through a secure back-room link and submit questions to the moderator in real time. All sessions are recorded with consent and transcribed in full.
Step 3
Analysis and Deliverables
We do not deliver raw transcripts and call it research. We code responses, identify patterns, surface outliers, and build structured thematic analysis with every key finding grounded in verbatim quotes. Transcripts are delivered within 24 hours of each session. Final deliverables include thematic analysis, a curated verbatim quotes bank, and an executive insight report with strategic recommendations structured for leadership presentation and built to drive action, not filing.
Case study
B2B Technology Buyer Decision Research
- B2B technology company experiencing high late-stage deal stall
Challenge
The client was generating strong pipeline but deals were stalling at a high rate before close. Internal teams attributed it to pricing. Leadership needed to understand the true cause before restructuring commercial strategy and sales process.
Approach
Nexus recruited and interviewed 20 senior buyers across the client's key segments IT directors, procurement leads, and business unit heads within 3 weeks from brief sign-off. Interviews followed a structured discussion guide exploring evaluation criteria, internal approval dynamics, and the points at which deal momentum was lost.
Outcome
Interviews revealed that deals were stalling not on price but at the procurement approval stage a stakeholder the client's sales process was not engaging. The client redesigned their enterprise sales motion to involve procurement earlier, reducing average deal cycle by 6 weeks and improving close rate by 18%.
