THE DON'TS FOR A DISCOVERY CALL

• Don't Be Unprepared - Failing to research the client can make you seem unprofessional.
• Don't Dominate the Conversation - Focus on listening rather than just talking.
• Don't Use Generic Pitches - Tailor your approach to the client's specific needs.
• Don't Interrupt or Rush - Let the client express their thoughts fully.
• Don't Overpromise - Be honest about what you can deliver.
• Don't Ignore Red Flags - Assess if the client is the right fit for you too.
