The Research Blind Spots Test

Step 1: Pick a target (3 minutes)

Choose someone you'll interact with professionally in the next 30 days. A prospect, and angel investor, a hiring manager, a key stakeholder, a potential partner.

Step 2: Set a timer for 10 minutes

No more, no less. Constraints reveal skill gaps.

Step 3: Find answers to these 7 questions:

  1. What's their career trajectory? (Where were they 5 years ago?)

  2. What content have they posted or engaged with recently?

  3. What's one opinion they hold publicly?

  4. What pressure is their company under right now?

  5. Who do you know in common?

  6. What do they want to be known for?

  7. What's one thing you could reference naturally in conversation?

Step 4: Score yourself (2 minutes)

  • 7/7 answers: You're already ahead of 95% of professionals

  • 5-6 answers: Solid foundation, refine your sources

  • 3-4 answers: Average, which means invisible

  • Under 3: This is why opportunities pass you by

One Platform. Every Product.

Build courses, coaching, communities, memberships, and more. All in one place. Kajabi gives real experts a single system to launch, sell, and scale, without juggling tools or breaking momentum.

For corporate professionals: Run this test on whoever controls your next promotion decision. What you discover might change how you approach them entirely.

For entrepreneurs: Run this on your highest-value prospect. The gaps in your knowledge are the gaps in your pitch.

The real insight: Where you get stuck reveals which research muscle needs training. Couldn't find their opinions? You're not checking LinkedIn posts. Couldn't find company pressure? You're skipping news and Glassdoor.

Sunday, I'm wrapping up this week with one intelligence move you can implement immediately. Steal the cheatsheet there.
