Senior Vice President of Global Sales, Gloat
I've been through a lot of discovery trainings in my career, and this is easily at the top. The best part is how immediately actionable it is. My reps walked away with exact questions, tactics, and techniques they used to improve their next sales calls.

We trained our teams on Discovery Masterclass, and we're already seeing an increase in opp conversion rates. Several reps said this was the most actionable sales training they've ever done.

Finished my quarter at 152%. Just wanted to send you a thank you note for the training and content. I finished my quarter at 152% and my half at 104% largely due to your teachings and learning from your experiences.

Best disco course - I'm seeing a ton of progress on my team - especially the Cause Analysis and Negative Implications - the problems we are talking about with prospects went from leads/pipeline to CAC, Attrition, etc so it's been huge getting higher in the org.

Stop running discovery that surfaces problems but never moves buyers to act — and start asking questions that build the urgency required to close
Buyers can see the problem clearly and still not act — because no one has helped them understand what it actually costs to keep doing nothing. This course teaches the negative impact questioning method that consistently surfaces the consequences buyers can't ignore.
Before this course:
Your discovery surfaces problems but never creates real urgency
Buyers admit pain, then disappear into the status quo
You ask "what's the impact?" and get vague, low-stakes answers
You feel like you're interrogating buyers instead of consulting with them
Your forecast is full of deals where nothing is actually broken enough to fix
After this course:
You ask open and targeted negative impact questions that surface real consequences
You know when (and when not) to deploy negative impact in a call
You uncover personal impact — the layer that drives most executive decisions
You apply the 3x3 negative impact exercise to any deal in your pipeline
You build the level of buyer urgency required to win in a demand-negative market
MEET YOUR MENTORs
Chris Orlob
Chris Orlob is the CEO of Caliber (formerly pclub.io) and one of the most influential operators in modern B2B sales. Before Caliber, Chris helped grow Gong.io from $200,000 to $200 million in ARR and a $7.2 billion valuation — closing some of the largest deals in the company's early history and personally training thousands of revenue professionals along the way.
Chris's work on discovery and questioning is informed by analysis of more recorded sales calls than almost any other operator in the industry. He has spent years isolating exactly which questions correlate with closed-won outcomes and which feel productive but do nothing for the deal. His frameworks are now used by thousands of AEs at top-performing SaaS companies worldwide.
Inside Mastering Negative Impact Questions, Chris teaches the questioning system that consistently outperforms generic "pain discovery" — covering open and targeted impact questions, personal impact, impact/market fit, and the specific language that surfaces consequences buyers cannot ignore. This is one of the highest-leverage skills you can build in a market where surface-level discovery is no longer enough to close deals.
