Introduction

Hello! I am [your name], from [name of org]. We also have [note-taker’s name] on this call.

Thank you for agreeing to speak with us today. Today, we’d like to learn more about how you use Feature X. We will do some exercises to see whether this design suits you, and would love to hear your feedback. This will be useful for us because it helps us create an app that is easy to use.

Consent

Would it be okay if I recorded this call? This is so that I can give all my focus to our conversation right now, and make notes later. No personal information will be mentioned anywhere in my notes, and the recording will be deleted later. Thank you! I have now started recording our call.
