VICTOR ANTONIO
About this episode
Evaluation Framework

🎯 The BANTER model provides a universal benchmarking system for qualifying great sales meetings using 7 key questions: Budget, Authority, Need, Timing, Engagement, and Request.

📊 A perfect score of 6-7 out of 7 indicates a truly great meeting, while 0-5 suggests the meeting was not as successful as claimed.

Practical Application

🔍 Managers can use BANTER to objectively assess meeting quality, identify potential issues, and make informed decisions about which deals to pursue or drop.

💼 The model helps salespeople focus on critical aspects of client interactions, ensuring they cover all essential elements during meetings.

Consistency and Objectivity

🔄 BANTER provides a consistent and objective method for evaluating sales meetings across different salespeople and scenarios, eliminating subjective assessments.
