Building a project with the prospect taps into the Ikea Effect; we buy into what we help create.
Making incremental decisions and blending your ideas with a potential client allows you to arrive at the best solution to their problem.

The first is clarifying the outcome of the project and giving the prospect the opportunity to modify the goals.
The second is getting agreement on the process timeline..
The third is the team. At what level does the client want to interact with your team?
The fourth is all about the numbers. Understanding this element is the only way the prospect can finally understand the value of the outcome.
Depending on the project, you can get those answered all in one meeting or conversation.

We all want to add value, so give your prospect a way to engage with the work.
