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.

Business Model Canvas Generator

By Product Management Skills by Pawel Huryn

Create a complete business model canvas showing how your business creates and captures value.

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

Business Model Canvas Generator

  • Generates a complete Business Model Canvas with all 9 components (partners, activities, resources, value prop, relationships, channels, segments, costs, revenue)
  • Asks strategic questions about your customers, value proposition, operations, and economics
  • Maps how value flows through your organization from creation to delivery to monetization
  • Identifies alignment gaps and tests whether your business model is economically viable
  • Provides context on when to use BMC vs. alternatives like Lean Canvas or Startup Canvas
