Ask What is the one question you wish clients would ask before hiring a freelancer?

[Brendan]

A good project starts with a good conversation, but many clients forget to ask the most important questions at the beginning. They often focus only on the price or the deadline instead of asking about the process or the tools used. If they asked better questions, there would be fewer misunderstandings and the final work would be much better. Is there a specific thing you wish every client would bring up during the first interview? I want to know what information helps you do your best work.
