Written by Noel Peebles

You'll notice I've used repparttar

words "most likely" in repparttar 121493

above question. Why didn't I just ask who are your customers?

That would have been too easy!

Effective research is all about asking repparttar 121494 right questions. If I'd just asked who's your customer, you might have been tempted to answer "Well, I suppose everyone who pays me is a customer." Yes you're right, but I already knew repparttar 121495 answer to that.

When you think about it, a "good business consultant" is not one who has all repparttar 121496 right answers. I believe it's repparttar 121497 opposite. A "good business consultant" is repparttar 121498 one who knows all repparttar 121499 right questions to ask.

>From experience I've found that if you ask repparttar 121500 right questions, repparttar 121501 answers will eventually become obvious. I've also discovered that many owners of small businesses know repparttar 121502 right answers; it's just that they've never asked themselves repparttar 121503 right questions.

That's why I reworded repparttar 121504 question to ask - who are your "most likely" customers? To answer that accurately you will have to really think about it. When you do, you'll soon conclude that your "most likely" customers are different from "Joe Public" (the general population).
