**Customer Discovery Program** The customer discovery program is a technique that is especially powerful for creating new products, or taking existing products to new markets, and this technique is designed to be a collaboration between the product team and product marketing. You can learn more about this technique in the book INSPIRED, but it involves identifying, selecting, and working closely with a set of prospective customers from the same target market. Partnering with product marketing and sales, you interview and select these customers, and then proceed to discover and deliver a solution designed to meet their needs. The result is your initial set of referenceable customers.
