One inexpensive way to uncover what customers want is to assemble a team of your best achievers. We like to call this the Bloom Team, and with it you can:

Or, you may have the opposite problem. Perhaps you've a few members on the team who like to open up a bit too often; perhaps they enjoy hearing themselves talk.
