What will you ask?

[pickeringmt]

So I am actually starting to track down some local entrepreneurs, and I will be getting together for some one-on-ones in the near future.

Of course, the question arises - what are you going to ask them?

I already have several things in mind, but I know that this is a big part of this community and I would love to hear what you all think - I am sure there is some great stuff that I have not thought about.

So, what would you ask if you had a successful entrepreneur across the table from you right now?

Note: If you say "what is your product?" I will find you.....

How can I help you? What is the #1 paint point in your business?

Depending on if this question got them talking - sometimes I get very generic answers to it, I'd follow up with:

Where do you find your customers?
What challenges do you face in getting new customers?
What challenges do you face in retaining customers?

Hopefully these get them talking about any inefficiencies/deficiencies in their current business processes and a problem for you to solve (if that's your intent in the meeting).
