If you're in game audio, whether it be music composition, sound design, or anything else, and you're not asking your potential clients questions, then you're shooting yourself in the foot.

Just the simple act of asking what they value, and what they really want can make the client feel heard, taken care of, and safe. Very few freelancers bother with this, so you'll instantly be in the top 1% of their choices if you ask questions.
