Have useful conversations with potential learners
Use a short conversation to understand a learner’s work and whether your explainx workshop can help. Start with their recent experience, then discuss the proposed learning outcome.
In this article
Prepare the conversation
Explain the purpose and length of the call. Ask permission before recording or keeping identifiable notes. Prepare a few open questions rather than a long pitch.
Explore a real task
Ask what they were trying to do, how they approached it, and where they needed help. Follow up on concrete details. Show a sample exercise and ask whether it resembles their work.
Close honestly
Summarize the need you heard. If the workshop fits, share the confirmed page and prerequisites. If it does not, explain why. Send only the follow-up you agreed to, and remove confidential details from any curriculum notes. Several conversations should inform a decision; one enthusiastic call is not a complete validation.
Join the conversation
Ask a question about this guide or share something useful. Keep personal details private.
