No matter WHAT business model you're currently working on, there is no doubt that having a TIGHT and concise sales process will either MAKE or BREAK your entire business.
👉 PRE-DISCOVERY CALL
Do as much research as possible for the prospect. Make sure to come prepared on the call.
This includes:
- Looking at all their social medias -> connecting with them beforehand to build familiarity
- Brainstorming some potential ideas
- Going through competitors and comparing the prospect VS opponent
The key is to SHOW the prospect that you're trying to help them.
Which leads up to the next phase..

👉 DISCOVERY CALL (15-25 mins)
On this call, DON'T go in trying to pitch or sell to them.
99% of people make this mistake.
This call is supposed to be building trust + relationship.
Your aim: qualify the prospect + book a demo call.
Example questions to ask (for lead gen):
- Why did you agree to this call? (Keep pushing down further and find REAL reason)
- What is your primary goal for the next 12 months? (Elaborate on KPIs / metrics)
- What do you think is holding you back from achieving these goals? (Identify challenges / pain points)
- What solutions have you already tried to reach your goal? (Consultations with specialists or invest in tools before?)
- How successful were those solutions? (Can you share any data or analytics on the outcomes?)
- How long did you stick with each solution you tried? *understand their commitment
- Aside from those methods, have you explored any other avenues? (reasons why they tried)
- Could you briefly describe the products or services you sell? (specific USP?)
- Who's your target audience? (IF NO: Is there a clear majority of people buying your services? → Apollo search after call → Tell them in demo call) *WHAT COUNTRY*
- How are you currently generating leads? (What platforms / channels?)
- Why did you dive into these lead-gen methods? (See what’s important to them!)
- What problem does your product or service solve for your clients? (Can you share more success stories/ testimonials)
- What's your current closing rate? (Did you identify any trends affecting your closing rate?)
- What's the average lifetime value (LTV) of a customer for you? (How did you calculate the LTV?)
- What is your average deal size? (So you can see how much you can charge them)
- Do you have case studies?
- Do you have guarantees?
*** ALWAYS REMEMBER TO BOOK THE DEMO CALL BEFORE ENDING THE CALL!! ***
(or you'll risk being ghosted)
__________________________________________________________________________________________
👉 DEMO CALL + CLOSE (10-35 mins)
After you've gathered all the info you need for your prospect,
Create a PROPOSAL.
- Important points mentioned in the call
- Your No-Brainer Offer
- The process of working with yourself
- Your customised pricing based on their situation
- Next Steps
Once completed -> send the proposal to prospect before call.
On the call...
- Go through the proposal
- Handle objections (95% of the time)
- Push for the close
🔥 KEY POINTS:
- Always dig deeper with their objections -> normally it's something else that they're frustrated with
- If they ask to decide later / discuss with partner, ALWAYS book the next call
- NEVER change your price lower on the call ( it shows you're weak)

That's the overall process!
Keep practicing and iterating.
Have a greart week 💪
