The short version

Discovery Call Prep

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Get a research brief, smart questions, and a clear game plan before every sales call.

NDA Analyser

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Review NDAs for unusual terms, red flags, and what to negotiate before signing.

What each one does

Discovery Call Prep

  • Researches the prospect company — size, stage, recent news, and what someone in their role likely cares about
  • Writes a call hypothesis: their probable pain, why they'd care about you, and what might kill the deal
  • Builds a question flow that moves from context to pain to buying process without feeling like an interrogation
  • Defines what success looks like so you know if the call actually moved things forward
  • Suggests a specific next step to propose at the end of the call

NDA Analyser

  • Identifies whether the NDA is mutual or one-sided and summarizes the parties and governing law
  • Breaks down the definition of confidential information and flags overly broad or missing exclusions
  • Analyses key clauses like non-compete, term length, and remedies with plain-English explanations
  • Produces a negotiation checklist showing what's unusual and what you should ask to change
  • Gives a plain-English verdict on whether the NDA is standard, one-sided, or needs a lawyer

When to pick each one

Reach for Discovery Call Prep when…

  • You have a discovery call with a new prospect and want to show up with context
  • You're doing founder-led sales and need structure so every call gets better
  • You want to ask smarter questions instead of pitching too early
  • You need to qualify whether this lead is real or just 'sounds interesting'

Reach for NDA Analyser when…

  • You're about to sign an NDA for a partnership, hire, or sales conversation and want to know what you're agreeing to
  • You need to compare your NDA to industry norms before sending it out
  • You want to spot red flags like non-competes or overly long confidentiality terms before they bite you later
