The weekly sales leadership cadence that keeps deals moving

Pipeline reviews, deal reviews and 1:1s often blur into one meeting. Separating them creates focus — and a more reliable forecast.

Many sales managers run one long weekly meeting that tries to do everything: forecast, coach, inspect deals and motivate. It rarely does any of them well.

Separate the conversations

A short forecast call focuses on commitment and risk. A deal review goes deep on two or three important opportunities. A 1:1 focuses on the individual's skills and development.

Use a consistent deal review format

A shared structure — such as MEDDPICC — means every deal is inspected the same way, gaps are easier to spot and reps know what good looks like before they walk in.

Coach the person, not just the deal

Deal reviews fix this quarter. Coaching the underlying skill — discovery, multi-threading, negotiation — fixes the next ten deals too.
