After that, we’re going to introduce ourselves with name, company and job title. (2-3 Minutes)

Hi, _____________. My name is ___________, and I’m going to be walking you through this session today.
Before we begin, I have some information for you, and I’m going to read it to make sure that I cover everything.
You probably already have a good idea of why we asked you here, but let me go over it again briefly. We’re asking people to try using a Website that we’re working on so we can see whether it works as intended. The session should take about 45 minutes.
The first thing I want to make clear is that we’re testing the site, not you. You can’t do anything wrong. We’d like you to explore the product freely and share your thoughts with us, so please speak out loud during the session.
