Lead qualification form template

The questions a good sales rep asks in the first ten minutes, answered before the call is booked. Someone researching on behalf of another person is asked who actually decides. Anyone with a date in mind is promised a call within a business day, while people who are only exploring get a friendly nurture ending instead of a pushy follow-up.

Questions to consider

  • Which answers make a lead worth a same-day call for your team? Write that rule down before the responses arrive.
  • Do you need a budget question at all, or does company size tell you enough?
  • Which buying steps, such as a security review, add weeks to your deals and should be spotted early?
  • Who follows up with the explorers, and how often, so they are not forgotten?

How to use the responses

Sort by timeline and budget together: approved budget with a date inside three months is your call list for today. Before each call, read the goal answer and the ranking so you can open with what they care about most. When the person filling in the form does not make the final decision, ask on the call how to bring the decision maker in. Put the explorers on a slower email track and check back each quarter.

How to customize and share it

  1. 1Edit the company size bands, current solution options and buying steps to match your market.
  2. 2Change the timeline branch if you want later-this-year leads handled as explorers too.
  3. 3Link the form from your contact sales button or embed it on the page, and export qualified leads to CSV for your pipeline.

Frequently asked questions

What questions should a lead qualification form ask?

Goal, company size, current solution, who decides, what the buying process involves, budget and timing. Together they tell you whether and how fast to follow up.

Is this based on BANT?

It covers budget, authority, need and timeline, and adds two things BANT leaves out: how they solve the problem today and what has to happen before they can buy.

Won't asking about budget put people off?

Asking whether budget exists, rather than how much, is easier to answer. The three choices let people say it's not set yet without feeling judged.

What happens to leads who are just exploring?

They reach a separate ending that offers resources rather than a sales call, so your team can focus on buyers with a date in mind.
