Salesforce discovery questions for any use case
Good discovery is what separates a solution that fits from a demo that impresses and then disappoints. The best Salesforce Solution Architects and Solution Engineers walk into discovery workshops with questions tailored to the customer's industry, the use case on the table, and the stage of the deal — not a generic checklist recycled from the last engagement.
Preparing that question bank by hand takes hours: mapping the business process, anticipating the integration landscape, thinking through data volumes, compliance constraints, and the org-political questions that reveal who actually owns the decision. And the questions that matter for a healthcare service-cloud deal are very different from the ones for a manufacturing CPQ evaluation.
This tool generates a structured discovery question bank in about a minute. Give it the industry, the use case, the company size, and where the deal stands, and it returns questions grouped by category, a shortlist of priority questions to ask if you only get thirty minutes, and — just as valuable — the red flags to listen for in the answers.

How it works
Enter four things: industry, use case, deal stage (early, mid, or late), and rough company size. The AI applies standard discovery frameworks — current state, desired state, gaps, constraints, decision process — to your specific context and returns categorized questions you can take straight into the workshop.
What makes a good discovery question
- →Open-ended — 'walk me through what happens when an order comes in' beats 'do you have an order process?'
- →Process-first — understand the business flow before proposing any product.
- →Quantified — ask for volumes, frequencies, and cycle times; they drive architecture decisions later.
- →Politically aware — who owns the budget, who feels the pain, and who could block the project are three different people.
- →Failure-focused — 'what happens when this goes wrong today?' surfaces the real cost of the status quo.
When to use it
Before first discovery calls, ahead of multi-stakeholder workshops, or when you inherit a deal mid-cycle and need to get up to speed fast. Teams also use it to coach junior SEs — comparing their prepared questions against the generated bank is a fast way to spot gaps.
Frequently asked questions
What questions should I ask in a Salesforce discovery call?
Cover the current business process, pain points and their measurable cost, systems involved, data volumes, security and compliance constraints, success criteria, and the decision-making process. The right emphasis depends heavily on industry and deal stage — which is what this tool tailors for you.
How is this different from a generic discovery template?
Templates are static; this generates questions specific to your industry, use case, and deal stage, and includes red flags to listen for in the customer's answers — the part templates never cover.
