Sales calls usually start with a discovery call then move to those later stages in the pipeline though, so you're just calling a sales call by another name.





I think this is being quite pedantic, especially if you've done enterprise sales before.

Well, no, it seems your distinction is what is pedantic, as you are differentiating between discovery calls and sales calls when most would call them one and the same. This in my opinion undermines the point of your article.

Fair enough. The point of #nocalls is to dip out of the dance, not of all communication. :)

You can take it to the extreme, like I did for a long time, or adapt it for yourself.


I just read your other comment [0], this idea makes more sense in that you don't do any future calls, it's more like customer support in terms of helping them answer questions rather than beginning a pipeline.
