Sales Opportunity Qualification

Terms to do with sales qualification that reference the process sales professionals use to ensure that the opportunities they work on are qualified.

Sales opportunity qualification is a process used by sales professionals to evaluate the potential of a sales lead or prospect. The aim is to ensure they are a good fit for the company's products or services. This involves assessing factors such as the prospect's need for the product, their budget, authority to make purchasing decisions, and their readiness to buy. 

The qualification process is also used to assess access to key decision-makers and the acceptability of the seller's organisation as a supplier or partner. The goal is to determine whether investing time and resources into pursuing the opportunity is likely to result in a sale, thereby maximizing efficiency and focusing efforts on the most promising leads. 

Three important questions must be answered:

1. Will the customer buy anything?
2. Do we have a worthwhile chance of winning?
3. If we win, will the effort have proved worthwhile?
