Identify Questions That Should Have Been Asked

Surface the high-value questions a conversation missed — the ones that would have cut deeper into the real issue.

About this prompt

This prompt analyzes a meeting transcript or call notes and surfaces the questions that were not asked but should have been — gaps in coverage, unchallenged assumptions, and topics that were touched but never explored. Use it for post-call coaching, self-review after a discovery call, or preparing for a follow-up. It helps reps and managers identify blind spots in their questioning approach.The best sales calls aren't evaluated by what was said — they're evaluated by what was uncovered. This prompt reviews a conversation and identifies three categories of missed questions: obvious topics that weren't covered, assumptions that went unchallenged, and threads that were touched but dropped before getting to substance. It also surfaces what the most incisive questions would have been if the conversation had 15 more minutes. Share your meeting notes or transcript after a discovery call or strategic customer conversation. This is most valuable as a self-coaching tool after discovery calls where you felt the conversation was thin, or as a manager coaching tool when reviewing a rep's call. For team debriefs, it generates concrete conversation starters around what better questioning would look like — more specific than 'ask more follow-up questions.'
