40 Client Discovery Call Prompts

Description

The problem this solves

Too many discovery calls end in a polite "let’s follow up" and never move. These discovery call prompts give the call a spine — research, opening, past-behavior questions, pain quantification, alternatives and a clear next step — and help you prep from the public information and notes you already have, without LinkedIn-stalking.

Who this is for

• Sales reps at B2B SaaS with $5K–$50K ACV running 30-minute discovery as the first gate
• Solo consultants doing qualification before sending proposals
• Agency owners pitching custom scopes and tired of calls that end in "send us a proposal"
• Fractional execs filtering inbound inquiries before full engagement calls

What’s inside

40 discovery call prompts + probe questions across pre-call research, opening, past-behavior questions, pain quantification, alternatives, and next-step close. Each prompt comes with a use case, the expected output and a pro tip. The research prompts work from the public information, customer lists and connection lists you paste in.

• Pre-Call Research — 8 prompts for prep from public information you provide: company brief, role context, stack, competitors, timing signals, mutual connections and matching case studies
• Opening & Expectations — 6 prompts for the first 3 minutes that set the agenda
• Past Behavior Questions — 10 prompts replacing vague "future goals" questions with concrete past-tense probes
• Pain Quantification — 8 prompts to help the buyer put a number on the cost of doing nothing
• Alternatives & Competition — 4 prompts for the "what else are you considering" conversation
• Next Step & Close — 4 prompts for committing to a specific next step before the call ends

What you’ll be able to do

• Prep a 1-page brief with hypotheses to test, built from the information you paste in rather than guessed
• Run a 30- or 60-minute discovery call from an agenda that protects pain quantification and the next step
• Move through 6 phases with probe questions, so the call has a spine, not a wish-list
• Ask past-tense questions that surface real behavior, prior attempts and who decides, instead of a generic "what are your goals?"
• Help the prospect put their own numbers on the problem, then close on a specific next step or an honest no-fit

Frequently asked questions

Do I need advanced prompting skills to use this pack?
No. Every prompt ships with a plain-language use case, the expected output, a pro tip, and [BRACKETED] placeholders you replace with your own context. If you can edit a Google Doc, you can use this pack.

Which AI model should I run these prompts on?
The prompts are plain-language instructions, so they work with any modern AI assistant, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini.

Can I customize the prompts for my niche?
Yes. Each prompt uses bracketed placeholders for your own context — the prospect, the role, the pain, the numbers they share. The CSV export makes bulk-customizing straightforward in Airtable or Notion.

Will the AI make up facts about my prospect?
The research prompts work from the information you paste in (public signals, your customer list, your connections), and the prep-brief prompt marks missing facts [TO CONFIRM] instead of guessing. Treat anything inferred — a likely tech stack, a likely priority — as a hypothesis to confirm on the call.

Is this a one-time purchase?
Yes. One-time payment, lifetime access and free updates: when the pack is updated, the same download link gives you the new version.

Our promise
