When he was new in the profession he asked clients, "What do you want me to do?" Later he would discover that wasn't the right question.
Listen to Michael explain this evolution in his career.
"What are you trying to accomplish with this project? or Why are you hiring me?" is the better question. Which often is met with, "I don't know, let me get back to you with an answer."
While the client had a shot list the better question helped to focus all the content and also gives Michael ideas on how to pitch some of the solutions he can deliver.
So what question do you ask your client?

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
