Finding your market
When is a B2B prospect a qualified opportunity?
A prospect becomes a stronger opportunity when there is evidence of a relevant problem, a plausible fit, and willingness to explore a next step. A friendly response alone does not establish budget, urgency, or authority. Record what the buyer actually confirms and distinguish it from what your team hopes is true.
How to approach it
- Clarify the current process and the difficulty.
- Ask what a useful improvement would look like.
- Agree on a concrete next step and who participates.
“Interesting, send information” is an invitation to explain. “We process this manually every week and want to compare options this quarter” provides more specific evidence of an opportunity.
