📘 Help Doc: Mastering Level 3 Conversations in Your Sales Calls
Level 3 Conversations are the foundation of an effective and emotionally connected sales conversation. They help you move beyond surface-level goals to uncover the deeper emotional and identity-driven motivations behind a prospect’s decision to take action. This help doc explains what Level 3 Conversations are, why they matter, and how to implement them within your AI Sales Database to dynamically adapt to different personalities and prospect responses.
🔍 What Are Level 1, 2, and 3 Conversations?
🔹 Level 1 – Surface-Level / Logic-Based
The “what” of the conversation.
Example: “I want to lose 15 pounds.”
🔸 AI Database Action:
-
Tag this as
Level 1 -
Auto-classify common surface responses (goals, interests, features)
🔹 Level 2 – Emotion-Based / Action Motivation
The “why” behind the goal.
Example: “I want to feel the energy I had in my 20s.”
🔸 AI Database Action:
-
Store emotion-trigger questions (e.g., “What made this important now?”)
-
Link motivators to specific life experiences or desires (e.g., family, confidence)
🔹 Level 3 – Identity & Transformation
The “who” they want to become or reclaim.
Example: “I want to be a better parent.”
🔸 AI Database Action:
-
Create identity-based prompt variations
-
Store real call excerpts for coaching/review
-
Link to the
Transformational Identitytag for each persona type
🧰 Key Tools for Getting to Level 3
🔸 Prompt Variations Library
Because repetition can feel robotic, your AI tool should include 5+ ways to ask the same question to dig deeper, such as:
-
“What makes that important to you?”
-
“What led you to want to work on this now?”
-
“How would that impact your life?”
-
“What would it mean to finally achieve that?”
-
“Why now and not later?”
➡️ AI Database Setup:
-
Add prompt group:
Level 2 → Level 3 Prompt Set -
Label by tone: casual, compassionate, direct
-
Train AI to suggest prompts based on emotional tone/responsiveness
🧠 When to Use This Tool in the Sales Process
Level 3 Conversations should be used early, during the discovery of the negative situation. Do not move to solution or goal setting until this layer has been fully explored.
🔸 Checklist Before Moving Forward:
-
Do I know the goal? (Level 1)
-
Do I understand the motivation? (Level 2)
-
Have they shared how it affects their identity? (Level 3)
📊 How to Track in the AI Database
-
Use the Conversation Depth Tag on call transcripts (Level 1, 2, 3)
-
Let the AI recommend missing depth if only Level 1/2 is reached
-
Auto-highlight moments when the prospect shares identity-related motivations
💡 Best Practices
-
Don’t rush it. Level 3 requires trust.
-
Use different tones. Direct doesn’t always work; try empathy.
-
Rephrase, don’t repeat. Ask the same question differently until it lands.
-
Coach through transcripts. Tag missed opportunities to go deeper.
