5 Proven Strategies for Turning Discovery Calls into Contracts

Are your discovery calls falling short of converting into contracts? In this episode, I’m letting you in on the 5 proven strategies that I implement in my own client discovery calls.

Discover the crucial steps to improving your discovery call approach, from crafting a compelling introduction that positions you as an expert to executing timely follow-ups to get to your “yes” sooner. These strategies are tailored to elevate your discovery calls, ensuring you engage with your leads effectively and ultimately convert them into clients.

Tune in to gain practical insights and strategies that will transform your discovery calls and achieve better results in your business. Whether you're new to client interactions or looking to refine your discovery call approach, this episode offers essential tips to boost your conversion rates and grow your business.

KEY POINTS:

  • What’s a discovery call?
  • Stop assuming your potential client knows you
  • Why your discovery calls should be no longer than 20 minutes
  • The importance of research and intel prior to your discovery call
  • The 70:30 ratio you should follow in your discovery calls
  • The 48-hour follow up rule post discovery call
