The consultation form every new client should fill in

A consultation form is not the same as an intake form, and mixing the two up costs you time on calls that were never actually going to convert into a client.

Here is the difference, and what a consultation form should actually be trying to find out before you agree to a call.

It qualifies, before it collects detail

A consultation form exists to check fit, not to gather a full training history. Budget, timeline, and goals belong here. Injury history and food preferences belong later, once someone has actually become a client.

It saves you from calls that go nowhere

A short set of qualifying questions filters out people who were never a realistic fit for your pricing or approach, before either of you spends thirty minutes finding that out live on a call.

It should feed straight into your sales conversation

Reviewing the answers before a consultation call lets you walk in already knowing what to address, rather than spending the first ten minutes asking questions the form already answered.
