FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

  • Start discovery by asking why they were hired in the first place. It’ll help build rapport and understand the organizational vision.
  • If you suspect someone is going to be a blocker in the deal, bring it up with your champion before it even happens.
  • Don’t stay single-threaded in accounts. Just because you booked a meeting doesn't mean you shouldn’t keep prospecting.
  • If you’re introduced to power: share your hypothesis, then introduce a few things only they can answer to further expand on your discovery.
