Goodness, according to Emerson, is where the roots of wisdom are planted. In this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, Momma Bird Priscilla McKinney talks with Baillie Buchanan, cofounder and CRO of Research for Good. Research for Good has a disruptive business model. They specialize in market research sample and fieldwork solutions, but their unique mission provides charitable donations for each response, in addition to compensating the respondents. For the past few years, that charity has been Action Against Hunger. Baillie and Priscilla talk about what motivates respondents to provide the highest quality of feedback, how technology is impacting the market research landscape, and the future of work culture. Research For Good, beginning with only three founders, has grown to over 50 employees as an entirely remote-based business. Baillie says this feat is attributable to accountability, as well as a few technological advancements. They also talk about humanizing data, recognizing survey fatigue, and the awesomeness of Women in Research’s WIRexec. Check out Research for Good, and find Baillie on Twitter and LinkedIn.

Priscilla and Baillie Buchanan Fight the Good Fight

Today, my guest, Baillie Buchanan, is the Co-Founder and CRO of Research For Good, an online sample company with a mission to provide reliable, high-quality respondents for market research while at the same time ending childhood deaths from hunger and malnutrition globally.FIND BAILLIE ONLINE:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bailliebuchananFIND US ONLINE:www.happymr.comSocial Media: @happymrxpLinkedIn[00:55]Over the last decade the market research industry has been disrupted.  Our largest agencies are struggling to keep up as their customers turn to newer, faster and cheaper data sources. Now we are on the edge of yet another market shift. Now is the time for us to reassert ourselves as the rudder of the brands we love. Thank you for tuning in to the Happy Market Research Podcast where we are charting the path for the future of market researchers and businesses. Hi, I’m Jamin Brazil, and you’re listening to the Happy Market Research Podcast.  Today my guest is Baillie Buchanan, CRO of Research for Good. Research for Good is a sample and fieldworks solutions provider dedicated to delivering high quality data in 13 countries. They’re unique in the industry in that they also make a corporate donation to charities for every survey that is completed. Prior to founding Research for Good, Baillie has spent over a decade in the marketing research industry. Baillie, thanks very much for being on the Happy Market Research podcast today.   [01:56]Thanks so much for having me, Jamin.[01:58]You know our signature question is tell us what your parents did and how that’s affected your career.  [02:04]I love this question.  I had to do a little bit of self-reflection.  It made me think. So, my parents both grew up and started their careers outside of the U.S.  My mom is from Scotland and worked as part of the administrative staff at NATO headquarters in Belgium before meeting my dad and moving with my father to Canada and then eventually to the U.S. where she finished her career working for travel agencies focused on international travel.  And my dad’s career started in Canada. He specialized in international finance throughout his career, met my mom in Belgium, moved several more times, including all of us as a family moved to Holland for a year when I was a child. And then we finally settled in Seattle, and he finished his career in treasury for the Savers, also known as Value Village Organization.  Interestingly, that company is a for-profit organization, working as a fund-raising engine for non-profits, which is a business philosophy not unlike that which I’m running now. So, looking back, I can say certainly having a two-career, parent household had a lot of impact on me as well as moving a few times, especially internationally. And their guidance, it really led me to become quite independent at an early age, learn how to be adaptable to new situations and new people, which I think drives a real desire to understand people and really an almost perverse compulsion to push myself outside of my comfort zone.  I just can’t stop doing it. [laughs][03:45]I love that.  And there’s a lot to unpack here.  The 13 countries that you’re currently serving...  It sounds like, given your background of starting outside of the U.S., and then really mom NATO, coming in from Canada, etc....  All of that helped inform probably a global view as opposed to more of a national U.S., North America centric, or U.K. centric or wherever most of us have spent our early years.    [04:16]Yeah, absolutely, it has really colored my perception.  We traveled a lot when I was young as well, having family that lives in countries outside of the U.S.  It does definitely color the lens by which you look at both what’s happening here domestically and what’s happening outside of our borders.      [04:36]   So, is part of that lens the discrepancy in the quality of life based on geography?[04:45]Yeah, that’s a good question.
