DISCOVERY Skills Assessment Time! - Great Demo! and Doing Discovery

DISCOVERY Skills Assessment Time!

Where are YOU with the seven levels of discovery skills?

 

Level 1:  Uncovers statements of pain

Level 2:  Uncovers pain and explores more deeply

Level 3:  Uncovers pain, explores deeply, broadens the pain and investigates the impact

Level 4:  Uncovers pain, explores and broadens, investigates impact, and quantifies

Level 5:  Uncovers pain, explores and broadens, investigates impact, quantifies, and reengineers vision

Level 6:  Applies these skills to the broad range of prospects represented across the Technology Adoption Curve,

“burn victims,” disruptive and new product categories, transactional sales cycles, and other scenarios

Level 7:  Integrates and aligns the skills above into a cohesive discovery methodology

It can often take six months or longer for a new hire to adequately achieve Level 2.

The next several levels may require years to attain, and for many people Level 6 is a lifetime journey!

Read the list again and honestly assess yourself (or your team).

And remember:

“The vendor that performs superior discovery is in a competitively advantageous position!”
