13. Considering Steps 1-4: Discover and Qualify
Task:
Brainstorm questions
that promote discovery
and help qualify a lead?
-Are there specific considerations to be aware of when applying the 7 Step process to this solution
i.e. Are there warning signs to watch for? Are there specific “green lights” or “red lights” within the 7 steps?
-example: if we were talking about intervention/LLI we might highlight that if a decision making process and funding
source is not evident, we may not want to move forward or recommend a pilot and instead spend our efforts with a
customer that is better prepared to make a decision
- OR if we are talking about a digital solution we might want to highlight the “Account Management” step and the
resources required to successfully implement a platform at a district scale and whether we have the resources in
place
