Tell us how you think about your business

This isn't a software requirements form. It's designed to understand your vision, your frustrations, and your philosophy on how things should work. We use your answers to prepare a conversation that actually matters.

20-30 minutes

Some questions will make you pause. That's intentional. The more honest and reflective you are, the more valuable our conversation will be.

7 sections -- 34 questions total

Section 1 of 7

You and Your Business

Let's get to know you and the business you've built. About 3-4 minutes.

Your name and role *

Company name *

How long have you been running or leading this business? *

Not just the company age -- how long have YOU been in the driver's seat?

How many people depend on this business working well every day? *

Employees, contractors, partners -- everyone who's affected when things go right or wrong.

In your own words, what does your company actually DO? *

Not your elevator pitch. Not your website copy. How would you explain it to a friend over dinner?

What made you start (or join) this business in the first place? *

The real reason, not the LinkedIn version.

Section 2 of 7

Your Vision vs. Your Reality

This is the heart of it. Take your time here -- the gap between these answers tells us everything. About 5-7 minutes.

If your business ran exactly the way you picture it in your head, what would a typical day look like? *

Describe the ideal. How would information flow? How would your team operate? How would customers experience you? Don't hold back -- we want the vision, not what seems "realistic."

Now describe what actually happens on a typical day. *

The messy reality. Where do things break down? What takes too long? What frustrates you the most?

What's the biggest gap between those two answers? *

Where's the disconnect between how things should work and how they actually work?

If you could fix ONE thing about how your business operates tomorrow -- not a new feature, not a new tool -- one fundamental change to how things work, what would it be? *

What has that gap cost you? (not just money -- think time, opportunities, relationships, sleep) *

Be specific. "I've lost deals because..." or "My team wastes hours every week on..." or "I can't answer basic questions about my own business without asking three people."

Section 3 of 7

Your People

Your team is the engine. Let's understand what's helping and hindering them. About 4-5 minutes.

Think about your best employee. What's stopping them from being even better at their job? *

Is it tools? Information? Process? Authority? Context? We're looking for systemic barriers, not personal ones.

When a new person joins your team, how long before they can operate independently? What makes it take that long? *

If you asked your team anonymously: "What's broken around here?" -- what do you think they'd say? *

This is often very different from what leadership thinks the problems are.

How do decisions actually get made in your company? Who needs what information, and how do they get it? *

We're interested in the real decision-making flow, not the org chart version.

Section 4 of 7

Your Customers

The people your business exists to serve. Let's map the journey. About 4-5 minutes.

Describe your ideal customer's experience from the moment they first hear about you to the moment they become a loyal advocate. What SHOULD that journey feel like? *

Where does that journey currently break? Where do customers fall through the cracks, wait too long, or get frustrated? *

If your best customer called you right now with a problem, how confident are you that the right person would know about it within 5 minutes -- with full context? *

What do you know about your customers that your software doesn't? *

The insights that live in people's heads but never make it into any system. The context that gets lost when someone goes on holiday.

Section 5 of 7

Your Relationship with Technology

No judgment here. We want to understand your experience, not audit your stack. About 4-5 minutes.

How many different systems does your team log into on a typical day to do their job? *

Have you ever implemented a platform that was supposed to fix everything -- and it didn't? What happened?

Salesforce, HubSpot, Freshdesk, Monday, something else? We've all been there. What went wrong -- and what would you do differently?

Do you feel like your software works FOR you, or do you work for your software? *

If you could describe your current tech situation in one word, what would it be? *

First thing that comes to mind. Don't overthink it.

What's the most absurd workaround someone on your team has built because a tool couldn't do what they needed?

Everyone has one. The spreadsheet with 47 tabs. The Slack channel that's actually a ticketing system. The Post-it note workflow.

Section 6 of 7

Data and Truth

How well do you really know what's happening in your business? About 3-4 minutes.

Right now, today -- can you answer this question: "How is my business actually doing?" What would you have to do to find out? *

Do you check a dashboard? Ask three people? Open five tabs? Build a report? Or do you just... not know?

Who in your company has the most complete picture of what's going on -- and is it actually complete? *

How do you feel about where your business data lives today? Do you own it, or does your software vendor own it? *

If every system you use right now disappeared overnight, what would you actually lose? *

Not the tool itself -- the information, the history, the context, the relationships captured in it.

Section 7 of 7

What You Actually Want

Last section. Forget software -- let's talk outcomes. About 3-5 minutes.

Forget software for a moment. What OUTCOME are you looking for? *

Not "a better CRM" -- what would change in your business, your team's life, your customers' experience? Example: "I want to go home at 6pm and know nothing is falling through the cracks."

What would make you say "this was the best business decision I made this year"? *

On a scale of 1-10, how urgently does your business need this to change? *

1 -- We're exploring 10 -- Something has to change NOW

Who else feels this pain? Who would be in the room when we talk? *

Names and roles of the people who would be part of this decision -- and whether they agree there's a problem.

What's your biggest fear about changing systems? *

Disruption to the team? Cost? Another failed implementation? Data loss? Be honest -- we'd rather address your fears head-on than pretend they don't exist.

Is there anything else about your business, your philosophy, or your situation that you think we should understand?

The thing that doesn't fit neatly into a form question. The context that changes everything.
