I created a fillable profile form in Word which I email to new clients. As many busy people want you to take care of all the stuff that eats up their time, both professionally and personally, it's quite extensive but once in my hands I know everything about their life and don't have to bother them with too many questions. Based on the profile we can move forward using a web based collaboration app in an efficient and streamlined manner.
As the profile may contain sensitive information I ask that it be faxed back to me rather than emailed.
If you'd like to create a fillable form of your own here's a very nice tutorial
