I joined Tony Moze for this 65-minute exploration of:

  • Why I wrote Doing Discovery
  • “It’s not what I know, it’s what they tell me…!” The Curse of Knowledge
  • Some poor assumptions…
  • A head of sales’ revelation that “80% of my team believe they do a good job with discovery, but they really don’t!”
  • Geography and applicability, cultural differences
  • “When someone has a serious problem [that they want to solve], they want to be discovered…”
  • “About You…” example
  • What about home-built templates and scripts?
  • Full sentences vs prompts, and authenticity
  • How much discovery info is needed or enough?
  • An inquisition?

  • Sales stage conversions, No Decision outcomes, wasted demos…
  • Go to Market and the Customer Journey vs Sales Process: Buyer Enablement
