1. SET THE AGENDA (2 min) "Here's how I suggest we use the time: I'll ask about where you are and where you want to be. If it looks like we can help, I'll explain how. If not, I'll point you in a better direction. Sound good?" 2. CURRENT SITUATION - Tell me about [business/situation] today. - What's working? What isn't? 3. GOALS - Where do you want to be in [6/12] months? - Why is that important now? 4. OBSTACLES - What's stopping you getting there? - What have you tried? 5. FIT - What would a good solution need to include? - Who else is involved in the decision? - What budget range have you set aside? 6. RECOMMENDATION - Summarise what you heard. - If it fits: explain the offer and next steps. - If it doesn't: say so, and suggest an alternative.
