And this, son, is how you get picked for a focus group

January 10, 2010 · 3 Comments

A timely follow up to the recounting of my side career as a focus group attendee…

I was thinking that it would have been funny if we had a camera ready when the focus group lady called the other day. Lucky for everyone, I got another screener call as I was hoping into the shower– sexy!–  and the camera was ready.

Watch and learn the steps to successfully getting selected for a focus group, with a real time demo. It could use some editing, but I’m lucky to have my computer on for 5 minutes at a time without blue screening.

    I got a call yesterday for $125 on credit cards next week. Lucky I have more cards than as it all appropriate to a person of my income (which i knew enough to inflate, when asked) and thus passed the screener. I only just saw your helpful tutorial today. At the end I got asked, “If you had a super power, what would it be?” I thought it was a little lame that it was a multiple choice question, but then my actual, sincere, lifelong (or at least since “Out of This World”) answer — the power to stop time – was at the top of the list.

    way to go, Col! And I love the superpower question. It is going to inspire today’s entry.
