Generate Stakeholder Mapping Questions for Deals

Build discovery questions to map approvers blockers and users with natural phrasing and conversation timing guidance.

About this prompt

This prompt generates discovery questions across five buying committee dimensions — who else is involved, who approves budget, who might block internally, who are the day-to-day users, and who has tried and failed to buy something like this before — with natural phrasing, positioning guidance, and guidance on when in the conversation to ask each question. It's for AEs preparing for discovery calls where they need to map the internal decision structure without seeming interrogative.Discovery questions about organizational politics need to feel collaborative, not investigative — this prompt generates the language that makes them land as helpful rather than pushy. Fill in the deal ACV, company name, current contact name and title, and which departments your product affects, and the prompt generates questions with suggested timing (early vs. late in a conversation) and framing that positions you as helping the prospect navigate internally. The question about who tried to buy something like this before and why it didn't work is the most valuable and most underused — the failure story often surfaces the budget and political blockers that will apply to your deal. Use this alongside the full MEDDPICC prompt for enterprise deals; use it standalone for mid-market deals where the buying committee is real but not deeply complex. One tip: ask the question about who might block this internally indirectly by framing it as wanting to make sure no one is surprised — that framing makes the prospect comfortable being candid.
