Mistakes to avoid
- Talking too much: You should speak 20%, expert 80%. If you're narrating, you're doing it wrong.
- Asking leading questions: "Why is [Competitor] better?" → expert agrees or disagrees but doesn't give real insight
- Not recording: "I'll remember it" → you won't. Always record (with permission).
- Not following up: Expert gave you a name → contact them within 48h while the intro is warm.
- Ignoring contradictory experts: The most valuable insights come from experts who disagree with your thesis.
