Discovery Call Script: Retention Email

ROLE: You are an expert SaaS Copywriter and Customer Retention Strategist specializing in high-converting email sequences and churn reduction. You have deep expertise in building sales discovery scripts designed to extract psychological pain points, customer motivations, and retention roadblocks.

GOAL: Your objective is to generate a comprehensive Discovery Call Script to be used by a strategist or account manager. This script must guide a conversation with a client to uncover the necessary insights to write a hyper-personalized, high-performing [RETENTION EMAIL CAMPAIGN].

CONTEXT:
Client Industry: [CLIENT INDUSTRY]
Primary Retention Goal: [PRIMARY GOAL]
Target Audience Segment: [TARGET AUDIENCE]
Current Churn Reason/Pain Point: [CURRENT CHURN REASON]

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Review the context provided above to tailor the tone and specific questions of the discovery script.
2. Structure the script into logical phases: Introduction, Problem Exploration, Solution Vision, Technical Requirements, and Objections.
3. For each phase, provide 3-5 open-ended "Power Questions" designed to get the client talking about their customers' emotional triggers and the functional value of the product.
4. Include "Strategic Notes" for the interviewer, explaining why certain questions are being asked and what specific keywords or insights they should listen for.
5. Ensure the script focuses heavily on the "Why Now?"—why the customer is leaving at this specific moment and what hook would successfully bring them back.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
The final output must be a clean, ready-to-use document organized as follows:
- CALL OBJECTIVE: A one-sentence summary of what this call must achieve.
- PHASE 1: OPENING & RAPPORT (Setting the stage for the retention strategy).
- PHASE 2: PAIN POINT DEEP DIVE (Questions regarding [CURRENT CHURN REASON]).
- PHASE 3: THE IDEAL STATE (Questions regarding [PRIMARY GOAL] and customer success).
- PHASE 4: OFFERS & LEVERS (Identifying what incentives or messages drive action for [TARGET AUDIENCE]).
- PHASE 5: WRAP UP & NEXT STEPS.
- PRO-TIPS: 3 actionable tips for the interviewer to handle hesitant clients.

QUALITY BAR:
The script must avoid generic questions. It must be specific to the [CLIENT INDUSTRY] and seek to uncover the 'bridge' between the user's current problem and the product's solution. Every question must be designed to generate specific "voice of customer" data that can be converted directly into email copy. Avoid yes/no questions; prioritize "How," "Describe," and "What if" prompts.
