The Ultimate Discovery Call Framework Used by Top 1% Sellers | 30MPC Playbook (Sell)

Caitlin’s Checklist to Brief Your Execs Before Calls: www.30mpc.com/newsletter/checklist-to-brief-your-execs-before-sales-calls FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Explain things in your customer’s language. Adapt data and demos to how the customer works and thinks. Involve your champion in every customer touchpoint because they will help share context and help be your co-quarterback for the deal. Ask your buyer to correct you. When you get to the point of the sale where you’re walking through next steps for evaluation, be ok with being corrected. Go beyond the basics when an internal call partner joins your meeting. Ask questions specific to them - their business challenges, or what does success look like for them.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Establish next steps at the end of your meeting to prepare yourself for new stakeholders / questions. Avoid open-ended q’s, instead use “typically” or “usually” language to demonstrate credibility. Keep your demo’s interactive by asking the prospect what jumps out to them right away. Start your demo’s with the exciting outcomes and work backwards to reality (integrations, permissions) COREY'S PATH TO PRESIDENT'S CLUB: Co-Founder @ CoachCRM Co-Founder & Board Member @ ClozeLoop Co-Author of The Sales Enablement Playbook, Sales Development, and Sales Playbooks: The Builder's Toolkit Head of Sales @ Ravel Law RESOURCES DISCUSSED Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Increase the surface area of your luck. Sometimes, getting promoted takes luck. So help out as much as possible in all the places you can. Don’t let a slow burn hurt others. If a rep isn’t ready to be promoted, provide feedback early. Don’t create an environment where a toxic attitude spreads. Test drive managers before promoting. Insert the best candidate in actual situations. Communicate your decision with the team so everyone is on the same page. Make prospecting initiatives universal. If you’re driving your team to outbound — update your hiring profile, team meetings, and dashboards.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS When you’re doing a POC, you should be surveying the users and participants in that POC about their experience. If you’re working in a fairly technical sale, don’t shy away from answering technical questions with your depth of understanding, but let the customer know that is your depth of understanding. Use a pre-POC questionnaire to ensure that the champion is the right person to lead the POC. Do a POC kickoff call to set yourself up for success.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Don’t just set an agenda. Use PPO (purpose, plan, outcome) to set clear expectations for you and your prospect. Avoid deep-diving into features until you've established “why change?” and “why now?”. Show up to your discovery with a theory about their pains and your solutions. Don’t just start peppering questions. Soften the CTA with “would you be open to” instead of heavier asks before the customer is ready to dive deep.

Chase Macaione's Discovery Call Prep Sheet & Guide FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS How engaged someone is on LinkedIn is a proxy of how good of a champion they'll be for you as a buyer. What you do in a call differs from what you want to get out of a call. The agenda is what you want to do, but make sure to explicitly say what you want to have coming out of the call. Have reps come in with a hypothesis or a POV based on what they see about the company. If the company is shrinking, the way you do discovery will be different from if it is growing. List out discovery questions to get people from high-level pain to deeper pain.

Every 10th episode, we tear down one topic. This time, we’re talking about objections. ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Most objections are actually reactions. So if you know how to handle the reaction, you’ll swat away any objection. The intro to the Mr. Miyagi method - agree with the objection to remove the pressure, incentivize conversation to get them to share more about the objection, and sell the test drive. For dismissive objections be disarmingly blunt; for “not interested” objections, handle the reaction, not the objection; for situational objections, like “no budget”, or “too expensive”, remove the pressure of the sale entirely. Existing solution objections like “we already use X (your competitor)” are essentially “not interested” objections in disguise. Tackle them as such.
