About this prompt
This prompt helps AEs, SDRs, and inside sales reps build a set of impact-quantification questions for a specific [PAIN POINT] they've uncovered in discovery. It produces conversational questions covering current costs, time spent, revenue at risk, and how success is measured today. Use it when you've identified a pain and need to build urgency by helping the prospect calculate the cost of inaction rather than asserting it.Reps often uncover a pain in discovery but fail to quantify it — which means the prospect never does the math on the cost of inaction, and urgency never develops. This prompt generates a set of consultative questions targeted at [PAIN POINT] that help a prospect quantify the business impact themselves rather than having a rep assert it. The questions cover four dimensions: current costs in time, money, and headcount; time spent on the problem; revenue at risk if the problem goes unsolved; and how the prospect is measuring success today. Populate [PAIN POINT] with a specific problem your solution addresses rather than a generic category — the more precise the pain description, the more focused the questions will be. The prompt explicitly avoids 'why' questions in favor of 'how' and 'what' framing, which keeps the tone consultative rather than interrogative. Use this in mid-discovery once a pain has been named but not yet sized; for broader discovery before a specific pain has surfaced, the SPIN-based question set (0081) or role-specific discovery questions (0080) are better starting points. Running several of the output questions in sequence during a call — rather than all at once — makes the conversation feel like natural exploration rather than a qualification checklist.The prompt
