Identifying the Better Future

Understanding the prospect's desired future state is crucial in the discovery process. Rather than solely focusing on the issues at hand, salespeople should inquire about what the prospect hopes to achieve if their problems are solved. Effective questions can include asking the prospect how an efficient solution would impact their workflow and what success would look like post-implementation. By framing the conversation around their goals, sales representatives can better tailor their solutions to meet the prospect’s ultimate vision.
