Build Future State Visioning Questions

Generate seven vision questions that help prospects articulate 12-month success and connect it to your solution.

About this prompt

This prompt generates questions designed to help prospects describe what success looks like in 12 months — what metrics would change, how their team's work would shift, and what stakeholders would notice. It's for AEs and inside sales reps who want to move discovery toward outcome-focused conversations rather than feature discussions. Use it in mid-discovery once the prospect has confirmed there's a problem and you need them to articulate the upside of solving it.This is a companion prompt to current-state discovery questions — use it after you've established the pain and want to shift the conversation toward vision and value. The seven categories it covers (success metrics, team capability, day-to-day changes, stakeholder perception, freed-up resources) give you a structured way to build a future state picture that you can then map your solution to in the next stage. Fill in the company, problem area, and what you sell, and the prompt also generates follow-ups to make each vision tangible and flags warning signs that the prospect's vision doesn't actually fit your solution. This is most valuable for complex solutions with a multi-stakeholder buying process — simpler transactional deals may not need this level of vision work. A practical tip: listen closely to what the prospect says when you ask what their team would be able to do that they can't today — that answer is often your strongest value prop language in their own words.
