Example introduction

Hi, do you have a minute?

My name is Lily and I work for a research agency. I’m here asking people to take a look at a website and let me know what they think, and recording the answers. In return for your time, we’ll buy you a coffee or slice of cake to say thank you.

Do you have 10 minutes to spend with me?
