Most coaches and consultants think a great discovery call means explaining their offer well. But they miss the one thing that actually closes the deal, and it has nothing to do with talking.

That's exactly what I cover here.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:

→ The ideal talk to listen ratio on a sales call, backed by Gong's research on thousands of B2B calls

→ Why asking more questions on a discovery call can actually cost you the sale

→ The difference between information gathering questions and clarity building questions

→ The 3 layers of the CASH Method: facts, emotions, and identity

→ How to guide a prospect to their own aha moment before you ever pitch your offer

Whether you're a coach, a consultant, or a service provider, if your sales calls feel good but keep ending in "let me think about it," this episode will show you why.
