1

Deep research before the call

3 min

The AI researches the company, enriches attendee profiles, checks for buying signals, and maps what you already know from previous interactions.

Prompt

I have a discovery call with [Company] in 30 minutes. Research them deeply — what do they do, what signals are they showing, who's on the call, and what problems are they likely facing?

Expected result

Company brief: what they do, size, industry, recent signals, attendee profiles with roles, and hypothesized pain points.

2

Build your question sequence

2 min

Good discovery follows a sequence: situation, problem, impact, timeline. The AI designs questions specific to this company's context.

Prompt

Based on this research, what are the 5 best discovery questions I should ask? Start with their world, then drill into the problem, then quantify the impact.

Expected result

5 targeted discovery questions in order: context, problem, impact, current approach, urgency.

3

Identify the real buyer room

2 min

Discovery is also mapping. Figure out who else needs to be in the room before you invest in a full demo.

Prompt

Who else at this company should be involved in this conversation? Check their org chart and suggest who I should ask to loop in.

Expected result

Recommended additional stakeholders to request on the next call, with their likely role in the decision.

4

After the call: capture and advance

2 min

One prompt handles everything: structured notes saved, deal updated, tasks created, and recap email drafted. All within 2 minutes of hanging up.

Prompt

Discovery call just ended with [Company]. Here are my notes: [paste notes]. Summarize the key findings, update the deal, create follow-up tasks, and draft the recap email.

Expected result

Meeting notes logged, deal stage updated, follow-up tasks created, and recap email ready to send.
