The "Discover" Phase Call Prep Checklist
Apr 15, 2025
Before your next call, take 2 minutes to prep. This will help you ask better questions that eliminate objections before they raise their ugly head.
-
âś… Review your notes: What do you already know about this prospect?
-
âś… Clarify your goal: You’re not here to pitch—you’re here to understand.
-
âś… Choose 3 core questions: One about the pain, one about the desire, one about the gap.
-
âś… Pick one “curveball” question: Something unexpected that gets them thinking (e.g., “What would solving this unlock for you personally?”)
-
âś… Practice reflection: Prepare to repeat back what you hear—so they feel seen and understood.
-
âś… Prep your mindset: Curiosity over control. Presence over pitch. Partnership over persuasion.
This simple prep sets you up to uncover the truth—and earn trust faster than any sales script ever could.
