Hey Rev fam! 👋 This discussion has been really insightful. One pattern I keep running into is that even when teams do have reports or SLAs for inactive deals, the real issue isn’t visibility—it’s timing and ownership. I’m curious: when an opportunity goes inactive for 2–3 weeks, what usually happens in reality?
Does someone proactively intervene?
Does it wait until pipeline review / forecast calls?
Or does it often slip until it’s already unrecoverable?
Genuinely interested in how this plays out day-to-day.
Looks like you already have a thread with replies above. Care to keep this as a prompt in that thread instead of a new post?
Hi Dhaval, Really liked your perspective on inactive deals in the discussion. We see the same challenges around timing and ownership across teams. If you’re open to it, I’d love to set up a short 15–20 min chat to exchange notes on what’s working in practice and what isn’t. No agenda — just a quick conversation. Let me know what works for you.
I'm very process heavy for these type of questions, and by that I mean: If you already have the reports and flag them in the system, it's someone's job (Sales Manager, Sales Director) to define ownership and guide the next steps. Here's the do as I say, not as I do: My deals should have been closed lost in my weekly review with my team. I don't close them out of hope, but hope is not a reason to not close lose a deal.
