Stop Chasing Tire-Kickers: New Consultant Qualification Framework
Hey everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹
Quick question: How many hours did you waste last month on prospects who never converted?
If you're like most consultants here, probably 20-30 hours. Discovery calls that turn into free consulting sessions. Proposals that get ghosted. "Let me check with my boss" conversations that go nowhere.
I just finished building something to fix this: The Consultant's Qualification Framework.
What it is: A hybrid Sandler-MEDDPICC qualification system specifically adapted for business consultants (not product sales). It helps you figure out in conversation #1 or #2 whether a prospect can actually hire youโ€”or if they're just mining your expertise.
What it includes: โœ… Complete qualification worksheet (8 key dimensions) โœ… Step-by-step "how to use it" guide โœ… Direct budget conversation scripts โœ… 30-day implementation roadmap โœ… Red flags and qualification decision framework
The promise:
  • Save 20-30 hours/month by qualifying out bad fits early
  • Increase close rate from 20-30% to 60-70%+ on qualified deals
  • Stop competing on price, start positioning as advisor
  • Set clear boundaries, prevent scope creep
But real talkโ€”this only works if you:
  1. Use it on EVERY prospect (no exceptions)
  2. Have the courage to walk away from prospects who don't qualify
  3. Trust the process even when it feels uncomfortable at first
Who this is for: Established consultants (3+ years) who are busy but not profitable enough. If you're brand new and need volume/practice, this isn't for you yet.
I'm sharing it here first before it goes into the main Business OS vault.

Questions for the community:
  • What's your current qualification process? (or do you wing it like most of us?)
  • Have you tried Sandler or MEDDPICC before? What worked/didn't work?
  • What's the worst "tire-kicker" story you've got?
Would love feedback on the framework if anyone uses it this week. Tell me what's unclear or what doesn't work in real conversations.
โ€”Gareth
P.S. - If this helps you walk away from even ONE unqualified prospect this month, it's already paid for itself in time saved.
