About this template

The first fifteen minutes of a discovery call are usually wasted on questions the prospect could have answered beforehand. This intake form collects the current situation, the goal, the timeline and who else is involved before you dial — so the call opens on the problem, not on paperwork. Ideal for consultative sellers and agencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a sales intake form capture before the first call?
A short questionnaire a prospect completes before the first meeting, covering situation, goals, stakeholders and timeline so the call begins with context.
Will prospects really fill it in?
Yes, when it is framed as preparation for their call and kept under five minutes — the answers visibly change the meeting quality.
Can I use the Sales Intake Form for free?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace, adapt the fields to your offer and reuse it for every prospect.
How is this different from a qualification form?
Qualification decides whether to take the meeting; intake prepares it. This one assumes the call is happening and makes it count.
Can I add deal-specific questions?
Any field is editable — add product, industry or scope questions per offer.
