Question: Fill in the blank: If a prospect says, “I’m thinking about moving into a larger facility,” that’s an example of a __________.
- goal
- challenge
- plan
- timeline
Explanation
In HubSpot’s explore phase, plans describe the actions a buyer is considering to reach a desired outcome. This concept is separate from goals, which define what the buyer wants to accomplish. It is also separate from challenges, which describe barriers that may prevent progress. Identifying plans helps determine whether the buyer’s intended approach is realistic and aligned with their situation.
Why the other options are incorrect
Goal describes the desired outcome, not the action being considered.
Challenge describes an obstacle or difficulty, not an intended course of action.
Timeline describes when something needs to happen, not what action is being considered.
