To establish a strong client relationship, consultants can ask insightful questions to understand the client's goals, challenges, and desired outcomes. 

Some key questions include: "What are your top priorities and goals for this year?"

"What makes your business different from your competitors?" 

"What are the key challenges or issues you're facing?"

"Who is involved in the decision-making and execution of this project?"

"What is the primary reason you're looking for a consultant?" 

"What are your expectations for this engagement?" 

"What is your vision for the future?" 

"What have you tried before, and what were the results?"

"How will success be measured?" and "How have you measured success in the past? 

Elaboration:

Consultants should aim to understand the client's business, their current situation, and their desired future state. Asking open-ended questions that encourage the client to share their thoughts and concerns is crucial. 

For example, instead of asking "Are you satisfied with your current marketing strategy?", ask "Can you tell me more about your current marketing strategy and how it's performing?"
