BANT is a sales qualification methodology that lets salespeople determine whether a prospect is a good fit based on their budget, internal influence/ability to buy, need for the product, and purchase timeline.

The acronym BANT stands for:

Budget: How much is the prospect able and willing to spend?
Authority: Who is the ultimate decision maker?
Need: Does the prospect have a problem your product/solution/service can solve?
Timing: Is there urgency?
