I wanted to comment back to David Bohl. Regarding asking potential clients: 1. What do you want? 2. What do you need? 3. How can I help you to attain those things? I usually find the questioning needs to start with ... 1. What do you see that isn't perfect (ie. what's not working) in your life? And then that them down that brainstorming process first. We have to first learn where we are before we can figure out where we are going :) Regards, Jen Blackert,CPCC Hi Sabah,

1. What do you see that isn’t perfect (ie. what’s not working) in your life?

And then that them down that brainstorming process first.

Adding the element of time makes the ideas much more achievable. David, you make an excellent point about identifying REAL needs and wants.

When talking with clients, time permitting, I like to digress in our conversations to non business topics. Having these personal chats allows a strong bond, especially to new clients. They feel more comfortable working with you and are more likely to use your services in the future. But always keep in mind the business talk has to come at some point. Balancing it out is a great trait to develop. (This works in any form of communication; i.e. in-person, phone, email, IM, or other). Having off topic chats.

What do you need? 3. How can I help you to attain those things? The problem is that many people, in today's fast-paced, instant-gratification world don't know what they want, can't differentiate needs from wants, and don't know how to ask for help because they don't know what form that help might take. The questions the becomes: What can we do over the next 30, 60, or 90 days to bring things into (or get rid of things) that will bring you greater happiness and fulfillment? This really hits the mark. I used to ask potential clients:
