325 GUEST: Lee Salz: Why Discovery Calls Must Die (And What to Do Instead)

3d ago 38:03

MP4•Episode home

Too many salespeople celebrate getting the meeting… and then blow it with a stiff, self-serving "discovery call" that prospects secretly dread. In this episode, Art sits down with sales differentiation strategist and bestselling author Lee Salz to rethink that critical first conversation—and turn it into a client-centric consultation that buyers actually value.

Lee shares how to deliver meaningful value in the first meeting, why "discovery" language and agendas instantly signal "this is about me, not you," and how to use stories and emotion (not just logic) to move prospects from mere inconvenience to true problem—and action.

You'll also hear how top trial lawyers and doctors structure questions, build emotional engagement, and guide people to their own conclusions… and how to steal those approaches for your sales calls.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why traditional discovery meetings "must die"
How to position the first meeting as a consultation buyers want to attend
The difference between an inconvenience and a real problem—and how to uncover it
How to ask emotive questions that create an "I feel that" response
Ways to show "empathetic expertise" so prospects walk away thinking, "This person really gets me."
