Purpose of This Lesson

To help you stop chasing polite but empty conversations.

Signs of Real Buying Intent

• Mentions audits, risk, or accountability
• Asks “how” and “when”
• Involves other stakeholders
• Discusses internal challenges openly

Signs of Fake Interest (Be Honest)

• “Just exploring”
• “Send us details”
• “We are comparing vendors”
• No mention of urgency
• No decision owner present

These are not bad people.

They are just not ready buyers.
