Question banks
Starting question sets, by industry and by format
The first 30 things worth asking in a given industry, sorted by what each answer tells you about the person on the other end. Derived from the template census rather than written from scratch, so the starting point is what the market already asks and the argument is about what to cut. These cost an email, because a bank you can paste straight into a build is worth one. A week saved on a build is a week of spend that starts returning leads sooner.
The standard
What has to be true before one of these goes up
Nothing is published under this heading yet. The rules it will be held to are written down first, which is the only order that means anything.
- It has to be worth the download on its own, with no call attached and no follow-up sequence waiting behind it.
- It costs an email, so it has to be worth one on its own. The same capture pattern as the scorecard, so a visitor meets one form and not four.
- Every borrowed figure arrives with the name of whoever published it, the year and the sample size.
- Anything we could not verify is labelled a judgement rather than printed as a finding.

The other five
Six types, each with a different job. Nothing is filed in two of them, and nothing goes up that would not survive being forwarded to a finance director.
Your turn
Templates are useful. Knowing which one your funnel needs is worth more
Our scorecard grades the four things that decide whether the traffic you already pay for turns into qualified leads, and tells you which one is costing you most.
