| Focus | Goals, audience, scope, budget | Billing, file access, sign-off | Phased setup tasks |

| Sent to | A prospect, during the sales conversation | A new client | Internal + client reference |
Common Mistakes to Avoid
✕ What Not to Do
✓ What to Do Instead
✕ What Not to Do
Sending this after the client has already signed
Redundant with onboarding, wastes the client’s time
✓ What to Do Instead
Use this during the sales conversation, before a proposal; switch to the Client Intake Form Generator once they’ve signed.
✕ What Not to Do
Vague project type
Generic, low-value questions
✓ What to Do Instead
Be specific about project type (e.g. "e-commerce website redesign" not just "website") so questions match your real discovery needs.
✕ What Not to Do
Skipping budget range
Questions don’t probe pricing fit
✓ What to Do Instead
Add a timeline/budget range even if approximate, it shapes which budget and stakeholder questions get asked.
✕ What Not to Do
Treating it as an internal team intake/PMO request form
Wrong audience, wrong questions
✓ What to Do Instead
This generates client-facing sales-stage questions, not an internal project-request form for your own team or PMO.
✕ What Not to Do
Sending 40 questions for a small project
Overwhelms the prospect, hurts response rate
✓ What to Do Instead
Trim questions in Edit mode to match project size; a small project needs 15, not 40.
✕ What Not to Do
Not following up on unanswered questions
Scope gaps surface mid-project instead of upfront
✓ What to Do Instead
Review every answer before writing the proposal; an unanswered discovery question becomes a costly assumption later.

FAQs: Discovery Questionnaire Generator
When should I send a discovery questionnaire?
Before you write a proposal or scope of work: a discovery questionnaire surfaces goals, constraints, and stakeholders upfront so your proposal and pricing are based on real information instead of assumptions.
What areas does the questionnaire cover?
Six core areas: project goals & success metrics, target audience, scope & deliverables, budget & timeline, stakeholders & decision-makers, and existing tools/constraints, with 15-40 specific questions depending on project complexity.
Can I send this directly to a client?
Yes, download as PDF or DOCX and send it as-is, or paste the questions into a form/email. It’s written as client-facing questions, not internal notes.
Is my project information stored?
No, your details are sent to generate the draft and aren’t stored afterward. Nothing is saved unless you click "Save to my account."
Can I edit the generated questionnaire?
Yes, switch to Edit mode to add, remove, or reword any question before downloading.
Does it support languages other than English?
Yes, choose from English, Spanish, French, German, or Portuguese.
Is this the same as a project intake form?
Not quite. "Project intake form" often refers to an internal request form a team submits to IT or a PMO. This tool generates client-facing discovery questions you send to a prospect during the sales conversation, before you’ve agreed to work together. Use the Client Intake Form Generator for the operational, after-signing form instead.
