Template 01: Discovery Call Script

"[Prospect name], great to connect with you. I have [time] blocked out for us today. Here is how I would like to structure our time: First, I want to understand your current situation and what you are dealing with. Then we will look at where you are trying to go and what is standing in the way. If it makes sense, I will share how my program works and we can decide together whether it is the right fit. Does that sound good?"

"Tell me about your business — what do you do, who do you serve, and where are things at right now?"

• "What is the biggest challenge you are facing when it comes to [niche area]?"

• "How long has this been an issue?"

• "What have you already tried to solve it? What worked and what did not?"

• "How is this affecting your revenue or profit specifically?"

• "What is the cost of continuing on your current path for the next six months?"

• "If nothing changes, where will your business be a year from now?"

• "What would the ideal outcome look like for you?"

• "If we could solve this in the next 90 days, what would that mean for your business?"

• "What is your timeline for making this happen?"

• "Why is now the right time to address this?"

• "Have you invested in coaching or consulting before? What was that experience like?"

• "Are you the decision-maker when it comes to investments like this?"

"Let me make sure I have this right. You are currently at [summarize current state]. You want to get to [summarize desired state]. The gap between those two points is costing you approximately [quantify cost] annually. And you have tried [previous attempts] without getting the sustainable results you need. Does that capture it accurately?"

"Based on everything you have shared, here is exactly how we bridge that gap."

"The [Program Name] is designed to take business owners in your exact situation from [current state] to [desired state] in [timeframe]. Specifically, you will [list 3-5 key outcomes]."

"I am confident this program works when you do the work. That is why we offer [describe guarantee]."

"Does this feel like the right next step for you and your business?"

If YES: "Excellent. Let me walk you through the enrollment process. We will get you onboarded within [timeframe]."

When to Use This Template

Use this template when:

• The prospect has completed the prerequisite step (application, questionnaire, or referral introduction)

• You have 10+ minutes to customize the template for the specific situation

Customization Protocol

Before customizing, answer:

• What is their industry?

• What is their approximate revenue level?

• What is their primary pain point (from application or conversation)?

• What is their communication style (formal, casual, direct, detailed)?

Replace every bracketed field [like this] with specific, researched information:

• Never leave a generic field unchanged

• Add one personalized sentence that could only apply to this recipient

• Reference a specific detail from your last interaction

• For corporate/enterprise prospects: Increase formality, add data points, include ROI calculations

• For solopreneur/small business prospects: Increase warmth, add stories, reduce jargon

• For referral prospects: Reference the mutual connection early and often

Insert one relevant piece of social proof:

• A client result from their industry

• A testimonial addressing their specific concern

• A case study with metrics they care about

Before sending:

• Read aloud to catch awkward phrasing

• Check all links work

• Verify personalization fields are completed

• Send a test to yourself to check formatting
