(www.surveymonkey.co.uk is a great tool to collect information)

1. What would you say are your 3 top problems with XYZ?
2. What stresses you out with XYZ?
3. If you could just have a break from something what would that be?
4. If you find yourself worrying about XYZ, what is it about?
5. If you could fix one thing with XYZ what would that be?
6. What do you wish you had more of?
7. What do you wish you had less of?
8. As you think about where you want to have or be in XYZ, why don’t you already have it?
9. If funding wasn’t a problem what would be the first thing you would invest in relation to XYZ?
10. What do you really want from XYZ?
    
    Think of other questions you might want to add that may be better suited for your business industry too. 
11. To gather this information, really think about where your target market is hanging out. (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Forums, Events, etc)
