About this prompt
This prompt generates a set of discovery questions designed to map the competitive landscape in an active sales conversation — without coming across as paranoid or interrogating. It is built for AEs and SDRs who want to surface competitor involvement, past solution history, and evaluation criteria early in the process. Use it in preparation for a first or second discovery call where competitive context is unknown.The output covers seven areas of competitive discovery: whether the prospect is evaluating alternatives (framed naturally), what solutions they have looked at before, why previous solutions did not work, what criteria they are using to evaluate, who is involved in the decision, their timeline, and what would make them choose you over others. For each question, the prompt provides a natural way to ask it, how to respond if they name a specific competitor, red flags that signal you are already losing ground, and how to differentiate without attacking. Provide WHAT I SELL, the main competitors you face, and the prospect's company name. This prompt is a preparation tool — use it before the call, not during it. It is not a script to follow in sequence; it is a menu of approaches to draw from based on how the conversation develops. One practical tip: the questions designed to handle a "yes, we're evaluating X" response are often the most valuable part of the output — knowing how to stay composed and curious when a competitor is named early is a skill that separates average discovery from competitive discovery.The prompt
