I see their level of interest their willingness of achieving the goal, their timeline and pretty much the CGP

I utilize CGP, ask questions, and reflect on challenges and goals.

I systematically use the spin method of asking questions then more follow up questions their is a reason you have 2 ears and 1 mouth the prospect should do most of the talking then you can propose a solution when you got a general context of what their needs are

By asking open ended questions? rephrasing what you understood and asking the prospect if you understood it corectly and after understanding their situation asking if a potential solution that you can offer would potentially solve the problem.

How do you qualify leads?

 

In my context of qualifying leads, I come up with the questions to get to know my leads whether they look for solution and what they want their business to achieve. Then I will follow by my experience relate to what they are facing with a clear goal, plan, timeline, and budget.

To effectively qualify leads, begin by outlining the characteristics of your ideal customer. This involves assessing factors like industry, company scale, geographical location, and revenue.

I'm currently working in the fashion industry. Some leads have conversations with my team, which is customer support. The customer talks about the order they want, especially emphasizing that it must be ready at the right time.

I believe my team already uses the CGP, TCI, and BA methodologies. At the CGP stage, my team explores more about their problems: what they want, what kind of events they need to attend with a specific dress code or uniform, and what the best outfit they're expecting is.

If we get the information, we'll move on to discuss the timeline and the consequences. If they don't get the right dress they want, what will happen? What if they don't know about the time and just want to make an order, leaving everything to us?

At the final stage, we'll talk about the best model recommendations, the size, the deadline, and the pricing.


Because of this flow, we know whether we can make a deal with the customer based on the conversations. If the problems don't match and are not related to our product, we can't help. We can assess the quality of our leads during the conversation. If we match, we match.

To qualify leads, assess them against criteria such as Budget, Authority, Need, and Timing (BANT). This involves determining if they have the budget for your product or service, the authority to make purchasing decisions, a clear need your solution can address, and a timeframe that aligns with your sales cycle. These factors help gauge a lead's readiness to buy and prioritize sales efforts effectively.

Before qualifying leads, define what your ideal customer looks like. Consider attributes such as industry, company size, location, and revenue.

This is a summary of inbound calls or sales. 

 

Once you get the potential customer/client on the call with you is basically ask questions to understand the needs, challenges and tie them to an emotion. Make them talk, have a real conversation and not offer something before they tell you what problem needs fixing.

 

Tie the solution to an emotion, what do I mean? Is to make sure the solution you provide makes your customer/client happy.

Yes. I have a talent for building great Rapport with my clients. Starting interactions with a geniune conversation regarding the challenges the client is facing. Or whatever they may want to talk about. Basically, I listen. Actively lisenting and allowing your client to talk, but steering the conversation when needed. Is a great way for you to uncover their challenges, so you can qualify their needs versus your solution.

You need to gauge their interest and how good of a fit they are. You can do the former by checking your social media to see which users are engaging with your company and view hits on your website, for example. To see how suitable they are, assess their budget, authority, need and timeline.
