Se ha dado cuenta de que los clientes potenciales siempre se ponen en contacto con usted varias veces después de sus reuniones con ellos, haciéndole más o menos el mismo tipo de preguntas, lo que a menudo retrasa la firma del contrato. Una mañana, dedica tiempo y esfuerzo a pensar en cómo mejorar este aspecto del proceso y, tras imaginar distintas soluciones, opta por elaborar una lista de preguntas frecuentes para facilitársela a los posibles clientes justo antes de enviarles su contrato.
