Episode notes
Pipeline Squeeze
- Conduct bi-weekly pipeline reviews, asking five key questions: deal size, close date, buyer awareness, next step, and incentive.
- Share your screen, take notes in an email, and color-code deal quality (red, yellow, green).
Skip Levels
- Conduct skip-level meetings with every rep each quarter.
- This practice gathers unfiltered information and builds trust for better decision-making.
Career Pathing
