Build a Dynamic Discovery Question Tree by Sales Stage

This prompt builds a structured, branching discovery question tree organized across ten stages — from situation framing through next-step control — with each question mapped to a MEDDIC element, annotated with strong and weak answer patterns, and accompanied by branching follow-up questions for each response type. AEs and sales coaches use it to prepare for discovery calls where shallow questioning would leave deal-critical gaps. Use it when you are entering discovery on a complex deal and need a question architecture that adapts to what the buyer says rather than a flat list you read through in order.
