Got told my discovery calls are too long at 35 minutes on average, but that's when I actually uncover real needs. Are you all doing 15 minute speed rounds now?

My discovery calls are short as I sell my product in person. Those meetings are often 2 hours or so.

helpful

2 hours is a good amount of time depending the product and what it does for the company. I feel like some people think were selling iPhones and the discovery takes 10 mins. Like give me some room to get these leads in the bag..

I think 35 minutes is fine if it is productive. I would rather have a deeper conversation than rush through a scripted 15 minute call that uncovers nothing.

And to top it off I have a high conversion rate. I think its silly to just ve metrics driven when youre actually out performing most.
