An Excellent Aid for Asking Questions

This is not just a list of questions. The e-book provides not only questions, but examples for real situations, and key takeaways for each question. It isn't something you can use as canned questions to ask someone, it's an idea source for developing interview questions for your own situations. Since it was developed as a framework for asking questions of successful entrepreneurs, it may seem focused in only one direction. In fact, however, many of the questions can be adapted for interviews of many types of people.

This is a great outline for developing questions in social situations, interviews, and business "meet and greet" events. Choose your favorites, and move forward.

A technique that someone taught me years ago is developing a list of questions that you would like someone to ask you. By providing the list to interviewers from the radio, television, or live events, you can often do them a favor by pre-loading the questions they could ask you. Some interviewers who are pressed for time may ask you only the questions on the list. The questions in this book may very well be some that you would include on your personal question list that you send to interviewers.

This ebook is a very good concept, and nicely executed!

Excellent for Interviewer, Just Pick the Questions and Get Going

I recently purchased the "Great Questions" set of questions for interviewing business owners and executives and it has been a great resource! The flow of small talk to warm up and gain trust is excellent. The questions are thoughtfully curated and help me to get to the core information that I need. I'm really pleased with this product and would highly recommend it to others!

Limited Usage and Slightly Convoluted Access

I'm a big believer in the power of questions for assessing situations, understanding issues and possibilities, and conversing with influencers. So when I saw this course to build questioning skills, I was intrigued.

Unfortunately, the questions are designed for interviewing industry leaders. This is very limited and not what I was expecting. Yes, the course title is Entrepreneur's Guide for Asking Great Questions, but I am an entrepreneur, and most of the questions don't apply to clients. Instead, the questions would be for talking with someone you admire and would like to understand their steps to success.

The first page on the conversation arc is interesting. The creator could build on that page.

I also found it a bit convoluted to get into the product and see the content. As you can probably see from my question in another review, I was asked for a credit card. No, I didn't need to put in the credit card - but I'm on websites and teach all day, so I'm not new to any of this. I just found, for a very simple product, that the UX needs some improvement.

I held out great hope for a course in questioning skills. For most of us, this is not the course. I wish the creator all the best.

Genius

You know I've heard this structure in so many great interviews, but having it broken down into such a clear theory-of-structure with the practical how-to-methods of doing an interview is genius. Thank you.

Hi Tim,

Thank you for your kind words! You're absolutely right, great interviews have a certain cadence and structure and I'm glad we were able to condense it into this easy guide.

All the best,
