This leads to superficial conversations that fail to uncover real pain. This article explains how to use AI to automatically build highly customized discovery plans by synthesizing data from the [CRM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer_relationship_management), past calls, and intent signals. ## What We'll Cover - The cost of generic discovery - The anatomy of an auto-built discovery plan - Data Source 1: The CRM History - Data Source 2: Past Conversation Transcripts - Data Source 3: Intent and Engagement Signals - Putting the plan into the rep's hands ## Understanding the Approach An Auto-Built Discovery Plan uses AI to aggregate all known data about an account and generate a specific agenda and question list for an upcoming meeting. In [RevOps](https://www.digitopia.agency/revenue-operations-revops-starter-guide), this means connecting your data silos (CRM, Gong, 6sense) so an AI can read them simultaneously. Example: Before a discovery call, the AI notes that the account previously churned 3 years ago (CRM), recently visited the enterprise security page (Intent), and that the champion mentioned 'budget cuts' in a previous [SDR](https://ca.indeed.com/career-advice/finding-a-job/what-is-sdr-in-sales) call (Transcripts). It then generates a discovery plan focused on security ROI. ## Why This Matters Equipping reps with customized discovery plans dramatically increases win rates and deal sizes. - Before: Reps ask basic qualification questions that annoy the buyer. After: Reps ask provocative, insight-driven questions that build trust. - Before: Discovery calls feel like interrogations. After: Discovery calls feel like strategic consulting sessions. - Before: Crucial context is lost between the SDR and [AE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Account_executive). After: The AE has a complete picture of the account's history and intent. ## The Complete Guide ### Step 1: Connect the Data Sources Objective: Give the AI access to the full picture. Actionable Advice: Ensure your conversational intelligence tool and intent data platform are fully integrated with your CRM. ### Step 2: Define the Output Template Objective: Structure the plan for easy consumption. Actionable Advice: Create a standard template that includes: 1) Executive Summary, 2) Known Pain Points, 3) 3 Key Questions to Ask, and 4) Potential Landmines. ### Step 3: Automate the Delivery Objective: Ensure the rep actually reads it. Actionable Advice: Use an automation rule to push the generated plan into a dedicated Slack channel or directly onto the calendar invite 30 minutes before the call. ## How to Implement This [RevOps](https://www.digitopia.agency/revenue-operations-revops-starter-guide) is responsible for the data integrations and the automation workflow. Enablement must train reps on how to use the generated plans to guide the conversation, rather than reading the questions like a script. ## Next Steps Stop letting your reps wing their discovery calls. By auto-building discovery plans, you ensure every conversation is strategic and value-driven. Start by manually creating a comprehensive discovery plan for your most important upcoming meeting using data from all your tools, to see the impact it has. ## See Brazn in your sales stack Map your current tools and see how Brazn can connect the work between them.
