BANT

Budget, Authority, Need, Timeline

A classic sales qualification framework from IBM.

Definition

What it actually means.

BANT confirms a prospect has the Budget, Authority, Need, and Timeline to buy. Often replaced today by MEDDIC or MEDDPICC for complex enterprise deals, but BANT remains useful as a baseline qualification gate.
