Field notes on running better discovery

Practical writing for account executives and the people who lead them.

Best real-time sales coaching tools (2026)

Tools that help a rep during a live sales call rather than after it. What each one does, what it costs, and where the category is genuinely thin.

How to record a sales call without a bot joining the meeting

Every mainstream notetaker joins your meeting as a participant. Here is why that is a problem on sales calls, and what the alternatives actually are.

AI notetaker vs AI sales coach: what is the difference

Notetakers record and summarise. Sales coaches change what happens on the call. Which one you need, what each costs, and why teams end up with both.

What questions should you ask on a discovery call?

Ask questions that expose urgency, map buying dynamics, and uncover the deeper impact and why behind the deal—not surface-level questions that waste everyone's time.

Is MEDDPICC the same as MEDDIC?

No. MEDDPICC adds Paper Process and Power to MEDDIC—two elements that determine if enterprise deals close. Here's what actually matters.

What does MEDDPICC mean

MEDDPICC is an eight-point sales qualification framework for complex B2B deals. Learn what each letter stands for and when to use it.

Qualification Frameworks Don't Survive First Contact

Your framework is a checklist, not a conversation guide. Here's how to keep discovery natural while actually testing fit.

Why You're Asking: The Question Beneath the Question

Most discovery questions fail because prospects don't know why you're asking. One line changes that entirely.

The Follow-Up Refresh: When to Change Channels

Stuck prospects respond when you switch how you reach them—not just when. Here's exactly when to move from email to phone, LinkedIn, or break-up mode.

The Reframe: Follow-Up as Account Threading

Stop chasing prospects. Threading new stakeholders early turns stalled deals into multi-threaded accounts that survive late-stage surprises.

Follow-Up Timing: The Window That Actually Works

Prospect silence after your call doesn't mean no. The timing of your next move determines whether they'll re-engage or ghost completely.

How to Structure a Follow-Up That Gets Read

Most follow-ups vanish. Here's why yours do—and the mechanical fixes that make them land.

When to Follow Up, and What to Actually Say

Most follow-ups die because they ignore what happened in the call. The ones that work reference something specific and give the buyer a real reason to respond.

Coaching that arrives during the call, not after it
