Preparation is critical when speaking with an expert on Clarity. When you’re paying for an expert’s time, being well-prepared ensures you get the most value from your call.
A common misconception is that experts will automatically guide the conversation toward a solution. However, you should take the lead by being clear on your objectives. Here are some best practices to help you have a productive and insightful call.
1. Define the Problem(s) Beforehand
Before even booking a call, take time to write down the specific problem(s) you need advice on.
- What challenge are you trying to solve?
- What insights are you hoping to gain?
- Are there areas where you need clarification or expert perspective?
While experts can help uncover unknown challenges, spending time upfront defining what you do know will maximize your results.
2. Send the Expert a Message Before the Call
Once your call is scheduled, send the expert a message with:
- Bullet points of important details
- Your main questions
- Relevant background information
- Your objectives for the call
How to Send a Message:
- Go to Calls > Click on your scheduled call.
- Click "Send a Message."
- Type your message in the Inbox and hit "Send."
This preparation saves time and makes your session more effective.
3. Break the Ice – But Get to the Point
It’s always good to start with some small talk to get comfortable. However, be mindful of the time—it’s limited, and you’re paying for it.
- Ease into the conversation but transition quickly to the main topic.
- Remember: Time is money. Your money.
4. Prioritize Your Questions
Ask your most important questions first to ensure they are fully addressed.
- Be prepared to answer questions too—good consultations rely on great answers as much as great questions.
5. Set Aside Time & Create a Distraction-Free Environment
Many people overbook their schedules and take calls in less-than-ideal settings. Don't make this mistake!
✅ Block time on your calendar—set aside at least 10 minutes before the call to get ready.
✅ Ensure good cell reception and a quiet, distraction-free location.
✅ After the call, allow 10 minutes to compile notes and reflect on key takeaways.
6. End on a Strong Note
If your Clarity call was valuable:
- Thank the expert for their insights.
- If you had a breakthrough, let them know!
- Consider booking a Team Call if others in your network would benefit.
- Leave a positive review—this helps experts rank higher in Clarity searches.
- Share their profile link on social media to recommend them to others.
