6/ Have you looked at packaging different options for a proposed solution?
7/ Have you used compelling case studies to make the client feel that choosing you is low risk?
8/ How sure are you of the client's selection criteria and process?
9/ How well do you know the people involved in decision-making?
10/ What have you done to connect deeply with these people and satisfy their agenda?
