A discovery call is an initial conversation between a salesperson and a prospective customer aimed at understanding the prospect's needs, pain points, budget, and decision-making process before proposing a solution. Sales development reps and account executives use these calls to qualify leads and determine fit ahead of a formal pitch or demo. Effective discovery calls rely on active listening and open-ended questions rather than pushing a product immediately.
