I recently started asking my clients if I could interview them - so I could learn about the sales process (they are sales reps - i provide a one off service for them now). Sales people love to talk, so I spent on average 2 hrs per interview x 10 interviews last month. Almost every person I spoke with TOLD ME a product or service they need. They also described their sales process from lead gen to close and support. If you have hacking chops, talk to people.
