The "Prescribe" Phase Call-Prep Checklist
(Use this before every strategy or discovery call where you'll be recommending next steps.)
1. Review the Prospect's Desired Outcomes
-
What results are they hoping to achieve?
-
Why are these outcomes important to them personally or professionally?
2. Identify the Core Problem You Uncovered
-
What was the deeper issue you diagnosed?
-
What surface symptoms did they describe that you need to connect back to the real problem?
3. Select 2-3 Key Priorities to Focus On
-
Which 2-3 shifts, milestones, or solutions will create the biggest impact?
-
Are these achievable and believable for the prospect?
4. Craft Simple Outcome Statements
-
For each priority, write one sentence describing the result (not the method). Example: "Clarify your offer positioning to double your close rates."
5. Prepare One Proof Point per Priority
-
A case study, a statistic, a client story, or a quick result you've helped someone achieve.
-
Keep it brief and relatable.
6. Frame the Transformation in Emotional Terms
-
How will life/business feel different for them after implementing these changes?
-
Focus on freedom, time, confidence, security, or growth.
7. Outline a Low-Commitment Next Step
-
What's the simplest next action they can take to build momentum?
-
Example: "The first step would be a 60-minute strategy session to map your custom plan."
8. Check Your Tone and Intention
-
Am I leading with confidence and empathy?
-
Am I inviting them into a partnership, not pushing them into a pitch?
9. Plan a Strategic Pause
-
After prescribing the roadmap, stop talking.
-
Let them process, feel, and respond.
10. Have a Visual Aid Ready (Optional)
-
A 1-page roadmap or simple 3-step framework can boost clarity and confidence.
-
Visuals often sell faster than words.
