The discovery phase in sales is crucial for qualifying potential clients and understanding their needs and motivations in order to tailor a focused and effective sales demo.

• The discovery phase in sales is about qualifying clients to see if they are a good fit for a product demonstration.
• Qualifying the opportunity involves asking three questions: Is the client a fit for our product or service, do we align with their needs, and is there a sense of urgency.
• Knowing the timing of the decision and the current situation of the customer is crucial in the Discovery phase of sales.
• Knowing if a prospect is doing nothing, doing it themselves, or using a competitor helps in positioning the demo and understanding their needs.
• Understand the triggers driving potential customers to want to change and differentiate your product based on their needs and motivations.
• Having answers to discovery phase questions allows for a more focused demo that aligns with the customer's needs and urgency.
• Tailoring the presentation based on customer motivation and triggers is key to an effective sales demo.
• A great speaker delivers real content, engages the audience, and motivates them, but it's never about the speaker, it's always about the client.
