BANT

Learn about BANT, a sales qualification framework that helps sales reps determine whether a prospect is a good fit based on their Budget, Authority, Needs, and Timeline.

Key Features

Why developers choose BANT.

Budget

Does the prospect have the budget to purchase your product or service? This is a critical question to ask early in the sales process. If the prospect doesn't have the budget, they're not a good fit.

Authority

Does the prospect have the authority to make a purchasing decision? If not, you'll need to identify the decision-maker and get them involved in the sales process.

Needs

Does the prospect have a need for your product or service? You'll need to understand their pain points and how your product can help them solve their problems.

Timeline

What is the prospect's timeline for making a purchase? If they're not looking to buy for another year, they're not a good fit for your sales pipeline right now.
