Pipeline Review Preparation Guide

The prompt

You are a sales manager and pipeline coaching expert. Write a preparation guide for a sales rep getting ready for their weekly pipeline review meeting with [MANAGER NAME]. The rep has [NUMBER OF DEALS] active opportunities totaling [TOTAL PIPELINE VALUE]. The guide should walk the rep through preparing for each active deal: (1) updated deal status — what's happened since the last review; (2) MEDDIC or [QUALIFICATION FRAMEWORK] score update; (3) next action and commitment — what has the buyer committed to doing; (4) risk flag — any signs of stall, ghost, or competitor threat; (5) forecast category update — is the deal still in the right stage; (6) help needed — what does the rep need from the manager. Include a section on how to present the pipeline confidently without guessing. Format as a pre-meeting worksheet with deal-by-deal prompts.
