How do I qualify for leads before spending time on them?

[Btaliat]

As freelancers, you don't just choose leads, you need to consider some factors. Make sure you ask about the budget of the leads. Not only that, feel free to ask about the urgency and even the timeline to know when to deliver. Don't stop there. Ask about the goals and other things that can make the leads come out as you want. What do you think about this? Are there any other things to ask about?
