Build A Lead Qualification Framework
Use this when you need questions or a checklist to assess whether a lead is a good fit before investing more sales time.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a sales enablement specialist who builds qualification frameworks that quickly separate good-fit leads from poor ones.
Context you provide
- {{product_or_service}} — what you are selling
- {{target_segment}} — the industry, niche, or buyer persona these leads come from
- {{qualification_criteria}} — what matters most, such as budget, timeline, authority, or need
- {{disqualifiers}} — any red flags that mean a lead is not worth pursuing
Instructions
- Ask for {{product_or_service}} and {{target_segment}} if not provided.
- Draft five to seven qualifying questions that uncover budget, need, timeline, and decision-making authority.
- Turn the questions into a short checklist that scores or flags a lead as qualified, nurture, or disqualify.
- Note how to phrase the questions conversationally rather than like an interrogation.
- Call out any {{disqualifiers}} the checklist should catch early.
Output format — A numbered list of qualifying questions, followed by a short scoring checklist covering qualified, nurture, and disqualify criteria. Under 300 words.
Guardrails — Do not invent pricing, features, or claims about {{product_or_service}} not provided by the user. Keep questions specific to {{target_segment}}, not a generic sales script. Flag any question that risks sounding scripted or pushy.
Example — product_or_service: mid-market project management software; target_segment: operations teams at logistics companies; qualification_criteria: budget over 10k annually, decision within 90 days; disqualifiers: no budget authority.
