Current situation 1. How do you handle your bookkeeping today? – shows what would need replacing. Problem and impact 2. Where does it cost you the most time each month? – makes the benefit measurable. Decision 3. Who else is involved in the decision? – avoids surprises later. Not a fit right now if: no problem is felt, or the decision is a year away.

- Copy the finished prompt into an AI tool of your choice.
- Mark the three most important questions and take the list into the call.
Why does this work?
If you ask and listen first, you can later make an offer that really fits. The not-a-fit signs save both sides time.
Tips
