Follow ups q’s we discuss:
Lilah asked, "where do you create great questions?"
- why do you need what I have to offer?
- why is now the time?
- what do you expect from working with me?
How to format a 5-minute follow up call:
Start by asking questions they say yes to
Cover the details of the quote, avoiding jargon-y words
Set expectations for urnaround time and other details
Establish whatever the next step is on the phone
Renee’s advice for designers: set the expectation of a timeline - design is such big scary world so seeing the specific timeline with understandable words
