We are wrapping up our Business Builders series.
In 2021, my game-changer was holding discovery calls with new connections and potential clients.
Consistently talking with potential clients and partners in discovery calls is one of the best ways to keep your client calendar full. But it begins with keeping your discovery call calendar full. So let’s start with some strategies will help you do that.
1. Talk about your discovery call offer
2. Set a goal and keep track visually
3. Make it easy to schedule
During the Call
1. Questions to ask
These are some of my favorite questions to ask during a call:
2. Offering your solution
Give your potential client a quick win. This allows her to experience what it would be like working with you.
Be prepared to give a pitch at the end of the call and explain how your services work.
3. Set up for the follow up
Set up a specific time for follow up …. usually within a week.
After the Call
1. Set a time to follow up
2. Be prepared to offer alternative resources
3. Check back in periodically
