Discovery & value selling
Discovery calls, methodologies, value and ROI, demos, multi-threading.
What you’ll learn
- Why discovery — the structured conversation where you learn a prospect's situation, problems and goals before pitching — is the highest-leverage skill in sales.
- The anatomy of a discovery call, with a full annotated transcript.
- Questioning toolkits: SPIN, open vs closed questions, Voss's labelling and mirroring.
- The major sales methodologies and how to answer "what methodology do you use?" credibly when you have never carried a quota.
- Turning features into quantified value: feature → advantage → benefit, ROI models, a worked NHS example.
- Demos and POCs (proofs of concept) as deliberate sales craft — whether you've given a hundred demos in a past role or none at all.
- Multi-threading, selling to power, and building champions.
