Question 4

What questions should a customer ask to hire the right service professional?

What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?

Accepted Answer

The most commonly asked question is 'how much will it cost' or 'how much is your hourly rate'.  In reply, I ask to see what they have prepared, what they had in mind to pay, how soon do they need it, do they have a budget, is it easier to work on the project virtually, or at their place of business.
