"What's your biggest challenge?" "What gets in the way of your success?" And other open-ended questions targeted at discovering any "pain" your partners are feeling and sorting out whether or not you have a way to alleviate that pain. This kind of conversation, by the way, is best done live rather than using electronic media. You want to hear where the pauses and signs are!

Often times we don't know what we want until we know what is available. So if you gave a listing of services or consulting subjects that you are willing to offer it would be better than having them try to come up with something. You are constantly amazing me with the number of things you know and are incorporating into your repertoire. Your Business Partners are also quite astute and good marketers. The one immediate value to both JibberJobber and them is the name recognition and client base you both bring to each other without duplication.

First, I'm assuming. Not good, right? I know what I can bring to the table, and think that some of that is good for each partner. Aside from that, I hope that we are asking enough so that we understand how we can really help each partner. I'm sure there is more asking we could do.... Good question Kent… First, I’m assuming.
