Sales discovery call questions

Sales discovery call questions: a free, copy-paste prompt for ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. Paste the prompt and replace each [BRACKETED] field with your own details.

The prompt

Act as a sales coach. I have a discovery call with [PROSPECT TYPE, e.g. operations head at a logistics firm] about [MY PRODUCT].

Write 12 open-ended discovery questions grouped into: current situation, pain and impact, decision process, budget and timeline. For each group add one follow-up question that digs deeper. Avoid yes/no questions and anything that sounds like a pitch.

Pro tip: Ask only 5 or 6 of them on the call. Silence after an answer often gets the best detail.
