THE IDEA

Keep useful discovery notes

Discovery information explains the prospect’s needs. Store the supplied context on the lead so the next teammate can continue the conversation.

A concise description states a problem or goal. It is different from a logged call, which records a specific interaction.

Builds on Qualify using business evidence

A WORKED EXAMPLE

A simple example

A description such as Needs a shared approval process gives the team reusable context beyond a phone number.

A common mistakeAvoid replacing factual context with a vague note such as Interested.
