Questions. Questions. Questions…

You’re going to be asked lots of them! Be proactive and get answers out there before all the questions start.

A little up-front work now will save you hours down the road and also help prevent those awkward, or even dangerous, moments on the field. Let’s develop your list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) now and get it in your team’s hands before that first meeting.

If you’ve run the same trip before, you can probably type up a list of FAQs in 30 minutes or less. And it doesn’t have to be final; post it on your website and update it periodically, distribute them out via email, or make copies available during your team meetings. Also, you can you team management tool like MissionMinder to host your FAQs and other key documents online for easy and secure team member access.
