How to win discovery meetings without losing your mind

Your prospecting emails are unclear, stalky, and getting ignored. Let's fix that.

Most edtech prospecting is broken. It's fear based—we're afraid of being too pushy, so we give up after a couple of attempts. The emails we do send are stalky ("I just left you a voicemail..."), product-obsessed, and end with a passive link to our calendar.

This fails because it's unclear on what we're prospecting for. The goal isn't to "build a relationship" or "understand needs"—it's to book a meeting. That's it. All the chocolaty goodness comes after you get the meeting.

This training gives you my laser-focused, 4-part framework for winning that meeting. I'll show you how to stop selling your product and start selling the meeting itself by creating hope.

This training is for...

  • EdTech Account Executives who are tired of being ghosted and need a framework that gets replies.
  • Sales Development Reps (SDRs) looking for a confident, repeatable script that actually works.
  • Sales Leaders who need a scalable prospecting system for their entire team.

Key frameworks and takeaways

This is the tactical, 4-part framework I use to get meetings. You will learn:

  • The 80/20 Rule: How to spend 80% of your time on the 20% of the email that matters. I'll show you how to find a discrete challenge and one reason for it (and why you must never use "student engagement" again).
  • How to Reverse Engineer Your Challenge: My method for finding your challenge statement by starting with your most unique product capability and working backward.
  • The "No Allergies" Rule: People are allergic to products (platforms, curriculum). They are not allergic to problems. I'll show you why you must stop talking about your product.
  • The 4-Part Email Script: My exact, non-stalky template: 1. The Purpose Statement, 2. The Challenge Statement, 3. The "We Help" Agenda, 4. The Control Question.
  • The Pomodoro Timer Technique: How to use 25-minute "sprints" to build a disciplined, persistent prospecting habit.
