Ask about the tools and software they use. Compare these with your project's needs. If your project is based in Illinois, check if they have experience with regional data or specific market trends.
Discuss and agree on a timeline from start to finish. Include milestones for when parts of the work will be done. Make sure the timeline fits your schedule, keeping any local Illinois events in mind that could affect timing.
Use regular check-ins to talk about what’s been done and what needs to come next. Consider using a project management tool to keep everyone updated. Make sure you both agree on how often you'll communicate.
Deliverables could include reports, presentations, or spreadsheets with insights. Make sure these are in a format you can easily use. Agree on the specifics you need before starting the project.
