“Too often sales messaging focuses upon selling from a logical view, focusing upon features and benefits,” added Paul Kirch. “Askology changes that. It gives individuals confidence, tools, and a framework that works in any networking, sales, or business growth environment.”

Paul Kirch, sales coach and founder of the Askology Method, announced the full integration of Askology into his consulting practice. This shift introduces BANT+Askology, an evolution of the classic BANT sales framework. The enhanced model blends questioning and relationship-building to help entrepreneurs qualify not just leads but relationships, fostering deeper trust, stronger engagement, and faster conversions.

Fort Worth, TX - Sales coach and entrepreneur advocate Paul Kirch announced today that his consulting practice will fully integrate the Askology Method, a proprietary sales engagement framework designed to help entrepreneurs and small business leaders transform how they connect, qualify, and convert prospects. Paul Kirch developed the Askology Method to assist in how he nurtured prospect and client relationships and also how he helped other professionals learn to drive engagement, without relying on outdated pitch strategies. At the heart of this evolution is an application of Askology called BANT+Askology, a modern upgrade to the widely known BANT sales qualification framework.

The classic BANT framework consists of Budget, Authority, Need, and Timeline. This has been a cornerstone in sales training for decades. But in today’s market, where authenticity, trust, and human connection are essential, Kirch saw the need for innovation. Enter Askology, a method that blends powerful questioning strategies with genuine relationship-building.

“BANT is still valuable, but many sales leaders know it’s incomplete on its own,” said Paul Kirch, Founder of the Askology Method. “With BANT+Askology, we don’t just qualify leads, we qualify relationships and speak to the emotional needs of buyers. This means stronger engagement, deeper trust, and more sustainable business growth.”

Why BANT+Askology Matters for Sales Leaders

Stronger Qualification: Traditional BANT identifies if someone is a potential buyer; Askology uncovers if they want to buy and how to help them move forward. Once qualified, Askology allows for more trust to be developed.
Human-Centered Selling: Moves beyond transactional checklists to create authentic conversations. Kirch believes all buying takes place at an emotional level and BANT+Askology helps bridge the gap between sellers and buyers.
Faster Conversions: Entrepreneurs and small businesses save time by focusing on prospects who align with both needs and values.
Scalable Coaching: Now built into every coaching and consulting engagement, Askology is accessible for solopreneurs, startups, and growing firms.

Askology’s Integration into All Coaching Engagements

Paul Kirch confirmed that all consulting and coaching services under Paul Kirch Consulting will now be guided by the Askology Method. This shift underscores his commitment to equipping business owners, sales professionals, and consultants with strategies that feel natural, authentic, and effective.

“Too often sales messaging focuses upon selling from a logical view, focusing upon features and benefits,” added Kirch. “Askology changes that. It gives individuals confidence, tools, and a framework that works in any networking, sales, or business growth environment.”
