Predictive planning helps with trends and long-range bets, but reps and operators are face-to-face with customers and constraints every day. When there’s a gap, I start with what the field is seeing, then recheck the plan. Nikhat I.

Thanks, appreciate it! Hope Q4 wraps up smoothly on your end too.

I’ve been in this spot before Prabhakar J. & it gets in your head fast. Nothing about what you did comes off as pushy. Most of the time silence has nothing to do with the candidate. Roles get paused, budgets shift, people wait on approvals + everything slows down behind the scenes. Even when someone refers you in, things can still stall. It’s frustrating, but it’s normal.... You handled it fine. I’d send one clean follow up and then move your attention to places that actually respond.

I've used DFY domains before and saw good early traction, but the real risk sits in the domain history. If someone torched that domain before you touched it, your deliverability drops no matter how clean your setup is. I keep a close eye on health scores and shift to a domain I own once I know a campaign works. Keeps things stable and predictable. John T.

A few things I’ve seen help. Clear role definitions, clean historical data, and making sure comp lines up with the behaviors you actually want from the team. On the data side, you’ll need past performance, territory coverage, pipeline sources, and deal size patterns to build anything that feels fair and realistic. Vivek P.
