Sales Discovery Questions
by mbfinotti1ef68881b2edMITListed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026Repository updated 3 weeks ago
Builds a sequenced sales discovery question set - pain, root cause, impact, urgency - for a specific deal or persona, sized to the call length, with follow-up ladders, branch triggers, and a do-not-ask list. Covers B2B (SDR qualification through multi-stakeholder AE discovery) and high-ticket B2C consultations. Use whenever the user mentions discovery call prep, qualification questions, SPIN or pain-funnel questions, a first-meeting agenda, or "what should I ask this prospect", even without the word discovery. Do NOT use for rebuttals (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-objection-handling), the cold-call opening (mbfinotti/sales-skills@cold-call-opener), or grading a finished call (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-call-review).
