SALE PREPARATION

Questions to ask a prospective generator buyer before arranging a visit

By SellMyGen Editorial Team

A short qualification conversation can establish whether the buyer is evaluating the package you are actually selling. Keep the questions factual and avoid assuming that general interest means an actionable offer.

01

Confirm the equipment being considered

Ask the buyer to identify the unit reference, configuration and included accessories it is reviewing. Check whether it has read the disclosed condition and removal requirements. If its request depends on another fuel, rating or package, resolve that mismatch before arranging a visit.

02

Ask what evidence is still needed

Request a specific list of unanswered questions or documents. Identify which answers affect price and which affect collection feasibility. A focused request helps you obtain useful information without commissioning unnecessary work. Mark questions requiring a qualified assessment rather than supplying an unsupported answer.

03

Clarify the decision process

Ask who will review the equipment, who can issue the proposal and when the buyer expects to respond after receiving the requested evidence. Record whether the number discussed is preliminary or subject to a named review. Do not present a casual indication as a confirmed bid.

04

Discuss the actual collection scope

Confirm which locations the buyer can consider, whether it evaluates installed equipment and what handling services its proposal would include. Compare that scope with the seller’s site requirements. Use the answers to plan the next step, not to claim that every buyer follows the same purchasing rules.
