What does BANT stand for?

The BANT framework is often used by sales teams to assess the potential value of a sales opportunity.

BANT stands for Budget, Authority, Need, and Timeline. It is a sales qualification framework that is used to assess the potential value of a sales opportunity, and to determine whether or not to pursue it.

 

In the BANT framework, "Budget" refers to the financial resources that a potential customer has available to invest in a product or service. "Authority" refers to the decision-making power of the potential customer, and whether or not they have the authority to make a purchase. "Need" refers to the extent to which the potential customer has a need for the product or service being offered. And "Timeline" refers to the timing of the potential purchase, and whether or not it fits within the potential customer's time frame for making a decision.

 

The BANT framework is often used by sales teams to assess the potential value of a sales opportunity, and to determine whether or not it is worth investing the time and resources to pursue it further. By evaluating each of the BANT criteria, sales teams can gain a better understanding of the potential customer's needs and constraints, and can tailor their sales approach accordingly.
