Actionable Discovery Guide – DiscoveryCoach
Once your prospect has told you the pain they are facing, a good question to ask is how widely known is the pain.
If only the person you’re talking to recognizes the pain, the conversation won’t be very fruitful.
In addition, that person may not be a good champion.
