I Ran a Sales Call For A Product I Never Sold

30 Minutes to President's Club21 Oct 202525 min

Description

In this episode, Armand Farrokh breaks down exactly how to run a discovery call for any product, even one you’ve never sold before. Using a background check software as an example, he shows how to identify real business problems, craft targeted questions, and connect day-to-day pains to executive-level impact that drives urgency. You’ll learn how to build and navigate a Discovery Tree—a structured path from situation to operational problem to executive impact, using Armand’s proven framework. He also shares “typically” and “magic moment” questions that uncover high-value pain points, helping SDRs, AEs, and sales leaders turn every discovery call into a winning deal.
