OKR-Centric Discovery: The Modern Approach to Consultative Selling

How to Prepare and Lead Discovery Conversations that Create Need and Urgency for your Solution’s Unique Capabilities


The first scheduled meeting with a prospect is a discovery conversation for both the buyer and seller. The buyer wants to learn if and how you might be able to help them achieve an important objective or resolve a critical issue, and the seller wants to learn about the buyer’s ambitions and what’s standing in the way of realizing them.

Unfortunately, according to Forrester 8 out of 10 times, buyers leave these interactions with a poor impression. They complain that the seller is ill-prepared and that they lack sufficient knowledge of the buyer’s world, so while your solution might bring significant value, you lose the chance to demonstrate this.
