Why it matters

A pipeline full of stale deals makes the forecast look safer than it is, right up to the last week of the quarter.

Ask in order

Three questions that answer it

Ask them in this order. Each answer sets up the next question.

  1. What is open pipeline value and deal count by stage?

    Shows where the value really sits today.

  2. What share of deals reached each stage in the last 6 months?

    Finds the stage where deals stall or drop out.

  3. Which open deals over $25k have been open longer than the median?

    Gives each owner a short list of large deals to act on this week.

The numbers in these questions are examples. Use the thresholds and time windows that fit your team.

Then follow up

Ask about the chart, not the whole file again

Follow-up questions build on what is already on the canvas, so you don't restate the dataset or the time window.

Break win rate down by owner for the same six months.

Shows whether the leak is a process problem or a coaching one.

Data you need

A CRM deals export with stage, amount, owner, created and close dates, and outcome.
