A Few Questions to Get Started

First, Let's Get Acquainted.

Your Name
( I won't put you on a calling list or have a salesperson contact you. If we talk, you'll be talking with me. )
( City or Community is fine. )
( Just describe it in your own words. )
Are you the person who makes decisions about marketing for your business?
( A rough estimate is fine. This simply helps me understand the size of your business. )
( A rough number is fine. If you don’t have one, just say so. )

Now, Tell Me What's Going On.

( Tell me what success would look like in your own words. )
( Tell me what's been frustrating you or holding your business back. )
( Don't worry about remembering everything. Just tell me about the things that stand out. )
( For example: word of mouth, repeat customers, Google searches, advertising, walk-in traffic, or referrals from other businesses. If you're not really sure, that's a perfectly good answer, too. )
Do you have a way of staying in touch with past customers and people who've shown interest but haven't bought yet?

Finally, Let's Talk About Working Together.

If we decide to work together, are you willing to be involved in the process, sharing information, making decisions, and following through on agreed improvements?
( Tell me what you have in mind. It's perfectly fine if you're not sure yet. )
If I think we might be a good fit, how would you prefer I contact you?
