# Help with a Survey for Cold Calls/Cold Email # entrepreneur how earn by blogging blog

Who am I

I currently work as an Enterprise, Information, Solution, or Application Architect depending on the need; for large financial institutions. I have worked in this capacity for the past 15 years.

I started out as a Systems Administrator and progressed through my career as a systems programmer, developer, development manager and finally as an architect. As I approach the latter part of my career, I would like to transition from being a wantrepreneur to becoming a true entrepreneur.

I strongly believe that well-defined Business and IT architectures can be a game changer for small to mid-size companies without the resources to hire this position in-house. To refine my offerings, I am considering cold calling/cold-emailing target business' to identify pain points that I can resolve through architecture and design. I will use their answers to sharpen my offerings to this group of potential customers.

What I need from you.

I am seeking your input on the quality and the scope of an open-ended informational survey for target customers.

1. Are the questions relevant? Do they surface the right issues?
   
2. Are they complete? Do they properly span the scope of concerns for the business?
   
3. Are they properly scoped? Do they address concerns at the decision making levels of the company?
   
4. Have I missed anything I should have asked?
   

Also, since some members of this subreddit fall into my target audience; would you be amenable to filling it out and sending it to me via private message.

I promise to anonymize and summarize results for the group.
