Their reaction was notably disturbed! I apologized, saying I had a pitch coming up, and would really like their opinions. Well, they were much more negative toward my idea than I thought they would be!
Because you interrupted their social outing with techbro baggery, including being kinda disingenuous about "a pitch coming up".
Focus grouping. The only real difference is it is FREE.
A non-consensual focus group, in a venue where people are going partly to get away from biz BS they have to tolerate during the workday.
But if you're going to do it anyway, there is a convention in bars, of offering to buy a person a drink. Especially when it's an ambitious approach. No longer FREE.
