FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS
-
Executive time crunch: If an exec only has five minutes instead of 30, ask, "What’s the one thing you need to hear to earn another meeting with your full attention?" Focus on that.
-
**Lead with a hypothesis: **Instead of asking generic discovery questions, start with a hypothesis about their priorities based on research, showing you did your homework.
-
Decision criteria: Prospects may focus on the wrong decision factors. Share a list of common criteria and ask them to rank their priorities to guide the discussion.
-
Demo as you go: Don't save all product demos for the end. Show small pieces of the product during the conversation, interspersing discovery throughout.
