I like\u00a0\u00a0to have a list of questions in front of me when I\u2019m doing a needs assessment with a potential client. This helps me make sure that I\u2019m not forgetting to get any key information I need to develop a solution and helps make sure that my client is able to vocalize their exact need.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 of my favorites:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Whose budget is going to support this project?<\/li>\n
  2. On a scale of 1-10, how urgent is the need for a solution?<\/li>\n
  3. What is your ideal outcome should we work together?<\/li>\n
  4. What is a question I should be asking but haven\u2019t?<\/li>\n
  5. Why?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I\u2019ll admit, #5 gets me the best results when I\u2019m trying to dig deeper. It also satisfies my inner 3 year old\u2026<\/p>\n

    What are some of your favorites and why?<\/p>\n
