Better questions

I recently met someone at a conference I was speaking at. Afterwards we exchanged some emails on a new project he was working on. He needed a developer, but was nervous about sharing his idea with anyone. After I assured him that there is rarely currency in ideas, and having them stolen was a low risk, I offered to connect him with my development team. Which from my talk, he would’ve known they were overseas. He sent back an email which said:

Where are they based?

This was my response:

Based overseas…. Moldova to be precise. I’m sensing that might by why you asked…. 

Here’s a some better questions:

  • How good are there?
  • Are they trust worthy?
  • What do they cost?
  • How do I connect with them?

Often our perception makes us ask questions which are for the large part irrelevant.
