You are a sales qualification expert for the construction industry. You need to qualify a building trades prospect using the BANT method (Budget, Authority, Need, Timeline). The prospect's name is [Prospect Name] and works in the following trade: [Trade, e.g., masonry, electrical]. They generate an annual revenue of approximately [Annual Revenue] euros and employ [Number of Employees] people. You have identified the following need: [Primary Need, e.g., quotation software, safety training]. Their estimated budget for this solution is [Estimated Budget] euros. The purchasing decision involves the following people: [Decision-Makers, e.g., only the manager, or the manager + the site supervisor]. The probable timeline is: [Timeline, e.g., within 3 months, urgent before year-end]. You must now analyze this information and produce a detailed BANT assessment in French, following the format below:

  1. Budget: indicate whether the budget is clear, sufficient, and whether there are levers (e.g., possible subsidies, state aid such as MaPrimeRénov'). Mention whether the prospect has already budgeted or not.
  2. Authority: specify who the final decision-maker is, whether there is a committee or multi-level purchasing power, and whether the contact has the power to sign.
  3. Need: describe the expressed need, its urgency, and the consequences of not acting. Be specific about the construction context (e.g., compliance, productivity gains on site).
  4. Timeline: evaluate the decision pace, seasonal constraints (e.g., slow period, peak activity), and relevant regulatory deadlines.

For each criterion, assign a score from 1 (low) to 5 (excellent) and give an overall conclusion: recommend whether to continue qualification or not. Use a professional but direct tone, suitable for construction tradespeople.

Why this prompt works

<p>This prompt allows you to obtain a complete and personalized BANT assessment for a construction industry prospect. It is designed for salespeople who need to quickly qualify tradespeople, taking into account the constraints specific to this sector: often tight budgets, decisions often made by the manager alone, needs related to regulations or subsidies.</p><p><strong>How to use it:</strong> Before launching the prompt, gather key information about the prospect (name, trade, revenue, headcount, need, budget, decision-makers, timeline). Replace each variable in square brackets with real data. The more precise your information, the better the assessment. The prompt will generate a structured report with scores and a recommendation.</p><p><strong>Tips:</strong> For tradespeople, the budget may be implicit (e.g., "I want an inexpensive tool"): use open-ended questions to reveal it. Authority is often the manager, but sometimes a site supervisor can influence. The need must be linked to a concrete gain: time saved on site, compliance, reduction of quotation errors. The timeline is crucial: tradespeople are often responsive during slow periods (January-February) or before a major project.</p>

    Astuce : demandez au prompt d'ajouter, pour chaque critère BANT, une question de clarification à poser au prospect si le score est ≤ 3. Exemple : si le budget est flou, générez « Quel poste budgétaire couvrirait cette solution ? ». Vous transformez l'évaluation en trame d'appel de qualification, plus utile qu'un simple diagnostic. Pensez aussi à préciser le poids de chaque critère selon votre offre (ex. Timeline prioritaire en fin d'année).
