Option B: Paste your deals

TechStart - $25K - Demo scheduled - closes Feb 15 - no activity in 3 weeks

Prioritization Framework

I'll rank your deals using this framework:

You can tell me to weight differently: "Focus on big deals over soon deals" or "I need quick wins, prioritize close dates."

If CRM Connected

• I'll pull your pipeline automatically
• Update records with new close dates, stages, next steps
• Create follow-up tasks
• Track hygiene improvements over time

Tips

1. Review weekly — Pipeline health decays fast. Weekly reviews catch issues early.
2. Kill dead deals — Stale opportunities inflate your pipeline and distort forecasts. Be ruthless.
3. Multi-thread everything — If one person goes dark, you need a backup contact.
4. Close dates should mean something — A close date is when you expect signature, not when you hope for one.
