Episode notes
Use A 60/40 Listening Rule On Discovery Calls
- Use a 60/40 listening-to-talking ratio on discovery calls to surface real needs and trust.
- Be on video and ask open, future- and past-based questions so prospects explain processes and excite about outcomes.
Ask Open Future And Past Questions To Map Decisions
- Prepare open-ended questions that invite explanation rather than yes/no answers to reveal pain and process.
- Ask about current state, desired future state, and how they've bought similar solutions before to map decision patterns.
Bring Up Budget Early With A Ballpark
- Don’t skip qualification: ask about budget and be willing to state your pricing ballpark early to set expectations.
- Use confident, collaborative language (we want to work with you) to keep the conversation constructive.
