“STOP WASTING PEOPLES TIME TO GO BUY FROM SOMEONE ELSE THANKS!!!💕 – signed an extremely frustrated mentor 😭”
And they’re not wrong.
Ever since I found out about BANT, it’s been a LIFE SAVER when you’re talking to potential buyers.
It’s the fastest way to figure out if someone’s serious or just running laps in your DMs:
- Budget → Do they have money to spend?
- Authority → Are they the decision maker or “asking for a friend”?
- Need → Do they even need what you’re offering?
- Timeline → Are they ready now or just window shopping for “someday”? (NOT 30, 60, 90 DAYS! NOT NEXT YEAR! LIKE RIGHT NOW!)
If someone can’t clear at least 3/4 of these checkpoints, guess what? That’s not your buyer 🚫
Stop answering 27 questions for someone who’s just looking for a reason to say no.
Start qualifying people and moving on FAST.
Your time is money. Don’t hand it out to people who were never going to buy anyway.
