Master the structure, questions, and flow of high-impact discovery calls

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:

Keep It Simple with a 3x3 Framework: Break the discovery call into three sections (agenda, meat, next steps), each with three core moves. This keeps reps oriented and avoids overwhelming them with 57-point checklists.

Teach What to Get, Not Just What to Ask: Don't just train reps on questions. Teach them the four layers of discovery: situation → operational problem → executive problem → business impact. When they know where they’re going, they can improvise better questions.

Use Repetition to Lock It In: Roll out discovery training in small chunks (preferably 2–3 sessions). Reinforce it weekly through tape reviews, roleplays, and pipeline reviews to evolve reps from 101 → 201 → 301 level skills.

Discovery Trees Should Evolve Over Time: Start with a few problem trees, then refine them through live calls and team feedback. Your trees get "seasoned" over time—just like cast iron—with real examples, new objections, and better talk tracks.
