Lead Qualification

Know in 5 minutes if a lead is worth chasing. The questions to ask, a simple scorecard, and what to do with each score.

Lead Qualification

Not every call is a real job. A quick set of questions helps you spend time on the leads most likely to say yes, and kindly point the rest somewhere else.

What's inside

1
The intake

Nine friendly questions to ask on the first call, so it feels like a talk, not a quiz.

2
The scorecard

Score five areas 0, 1, or 2 for a total out of 10, with a stop check for leads that are not a fit.

3
What to do next

What each score means and the next step to take, plus kind words for leads that are not a fit or not ready.

4
A quick log

Track every lead, its score, and the next step with a date.

The scorecard is based on BANT (Budget, Authority, Need, Timing), a standard public sales method, plus a Fit check.

The five things you score

  • Fit: is it work you do, in the area you serve?
  • Need: is this just curious, or does it have to be done?
  • Timing: when do they hope to get it done?
  • Authority: are they the one who makes the call?
  • Budget: are they open to your price range?

Each lead ends up Hot, Warm, or Cold, and each one comes with a clear next step.

Quick rules

  • Ask every lead the same questions. It keeps scoring fair.
  • Score right after the call, while it's fresh.
  • A low score isn't a "no." It's a "not now."
  • Always give a next step, even to cold leads.
