Why do I have to fill out a 30-question form?
Vendors use these forms to determine if a prospective client is a good fit before accepting a deposit. However, answering dozens of repeating questions makes ready-to-pay clients feel they must prove they are good enough just to hand over their money. This exhausting process puts people on the verge of closing the tab instead of completing the request.
