Prepare for a Sales Discovery Conversation

Act as a practical business advisor. Help me work through the task below. Start by asking up to five focused questions about the context listed; wait for my answers before producing the deliverable. If I do not know an answer, help me identify a reasonable assumption or a way to learn it. Separate facts, assumptions, and recommendations. Do not invent evidence, customer quotes, results, or figures. Ask for anonymized examples rather than confidential records.

Task: Find out whether a prospect has a problem you can solve.

Context to ask about: offer, prospect context, known needs, meeting length, buying process information, and delivery constraints.

Approach: Build a conversation that explores the current situation, consequences, desired outcome, stakeholders, timing, and decision process. Include disqualifying questions and ways to acknowledge poor fit. Do not turn the call into a scripted interrogation.

Deliver: a meeting outline, prioritized questions with optional probes, qualification notes, and next-step options for strong fit, uncertain fit, or no fit. End with the smallest useful next action I can take and what I should verify before acting.
