In this episode, Gal Aga breaks down why great discovery has nothing to do with memorized questions and everything to do with understanding the problem, finding the root cause, and guiding the buying process. 🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Focus on the problem, root cause, and impact you need to uncover, not memorizing discovery questions. Only prep the first 5–10 minutes with a POV and agenda, then let the conversation flow. Bring a point of view from research so buyers feel understood and the discussion starts deeper. Treat discovery as something you continue throughout the deal, especially with new stakeholders.
