Discovery Call Intake — Notion or Excel fit + next step
By Nydaymuse · Updated
What belongs in a discovery call intake?
Call log, five-lens fit score (budget, timeline, clarity, decision-maker, chemistry), next steps (quote / nurture / pass), and notes on goals and risks.
Discovery calls leak when notes stay in chat and the calendar fills with low-fit follow-ups. Intake with a fit score protects the week.
Helm is Nydaymuse’s $12 dual-format discovery intake: Calls, Fit_Score, Next_Steps, and Notes as Notion CSVs and as an Excel / Sheets workbook. Pick one.
