From the conversations I've had with sales leaders, one theme that keeps coming up is that rigid time blocking matters less than making sure every part of the pipeline gets consistent attention. That usually means balancing prospecting for new opportunities, moving active deals forward, following up on stalled ones, and staying engaged with existing customers each week rather than focusing too heavily on one area.
I'm curious thoughβwhen your AEs send proposals or pricing documents, how do they usually know whether a deal is genuinely progressing versus just going quiet? Is that something you expect your CRM to surface, or is it mostly based on rep intuition and follow-up?
