A Discovery Call is the first structured conversation between a sales rep and a prospect to understand their needs, challenges, and fit for the product. It’s less about pitching and more about asking strategic questions to uncover pain points and buying intent.
The success of a discovery call often shapes the rest of the sales cycle, making it a critical moment in SaaS sales.
Example:
A rep might ask, “What’s your current process for tracking customer health metrics?” to uncover a use case for their analytics platform.
