ASK BETTER QUESTIONS FRAMEWORK
1. Pillar 1: Give Context (Where Are You Right Now?)
2. Pillar 2: State the Real Problem (What’s in the Way?)
3. Pillar 3: Ask a Focused, Actionable Question
By addressing each of these in order, you create a complete and compelling request for help. Let’s explore each pillar in detail.
Good questions open doors. Great ones build bridges. This framework is designed to help you get the most out of a group and give others a reason to lean in and help.
The Bridge-Building Framework
1. Give Context (Where Are You Right Now?)
Start by explaining what you are working on, struggling with, or thinking through.
Prompts to Guide Your Context:
- What am I trying to do?
- What have I already tried?
- What’s working or not?
Example of Context: “I’m just getting started as a connector, mostly talking to buyers in Facebook groups.”
2. State the Real Problem (What’s in the Way?)
Get specific about what is stopping you. This often involves identifying the actual friction and the emotional layer involved (fear, doubt, confusion).
Prompts to Guide Your Problem Statement:
- What’s the actual friction?
- Where do I feel stuck?
- What’s the emotional layer—fear, doubt, confusion?
Example of the Real Problem: “People say they’re interested but then ghost me after the first DM.”
3. Ask a Focused, Actionable Question
Frame your question in a way that helps people give you clear advice. The question should be focused enough that someone could answer it in a comment or quick Loom.
Prompts to Guide Your Question:
- What do I really want to know?
- Is this something someone with my experience would struggle with?
- Could someone answer this in a comment or quick Loom?
Example of a Focused, Actionable Question: “How do you follow up with buyers without coming off as pushy?”
Examples of Strong Questions
These questions successfully integrate context, problem, and focus, making them easy for others to help:
- “I’m building out my GHL pipeline for follow-up. What tags or stages do you recommend for organizing warm buyers vs cold leads?”
- “I had a call with a capital raiser, and I didn’t know what to ask next. What’s your favorite question to uncover their real goals?”
- “Trying to get better at hosting Zooms. How do you make people feel welcomed and want to participate?”
Questions to Avoid
Do not post vague questions, as they lack the necessary context and focus required for clear advice:
- “Anyone here use GHL?”
- “Looking for advice”
- “What should I do?” (This is too vague!)
