Tell Me More

An effective sales discovery process helps you understand the client’s needs, challenges, and goals. The foundation of sales discovery is in asking the right questions. But there’s a lot more to ensure you’re moving your prospect along toward a sale. So, in this presentation, we’ll talk about the kinds of questions to ask and to avoid, all while setting yourself up as an expert. We’ll discuss how to always stay in control of the meeting and redirect potential customers when they want to “interview” you. When a prospect says, “That’s a good question,” or “Gee, I have to think about that one,” I know the discovery is going well.

Here’s some of the material we’ll cover:

  1. What kind of preparation and research should you do before the discovery call
  2. How to begin sales discovery meeting
  3. What are the best questions to ask
  4. What are the worst questions to ask
  5. Best ways to qualify your prospect
  6. How to end the discovery meeting
