When giving a consult it is good to get some things out of the way before you meet. It will save time and help you prepare for a better meeting flow. I suggest putting together a simple word document that you can email your potential client so they can fill it out and send it back. If you want, you can make an online form on your website.
Here is what I include in mine:

- Client’s Phone:
