Why review weekly
Leads and estimates can sit untouched for weeks without anyone noticing. A weekly review keeps every opportunity moving and helps you predict upcoming work.
Export your open deals
Export open leads and estimates from your CRM with basic information such as stage, value, and last contact date. Remove customer names if using a public AI tool.
Ask AI to prioritize
Ask AI to sort deals by value, age, and stage, and to flag deals with no recent contact.
Plan follow-ups
- Hot leads: call this week
- Estimates sent: follow up with a helpful message
- Stalled deals: send a final check-in
AI can help draft messages for each group.
Forecast simply
AI can help estimate likely revenue by applying rough probabilities to each stage. Treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.
Spot bottlenecks
If many deals stall at the same stage, that stage may need attention.
Keep it short
A focused thirty-minute review each week is enough.
Track trends
Compare weekly reviews over time to understand seasonality and sales performance.
Clean as you go
Use the weekly review to close out deals that are clearly dead and update stages that are out of date. A pipeline full of stale deals makes forecasting meaningless and hides the opportunities that deserve attention. AI can help you write a polite final message before closing out a stale lead, which sometimes revives the conversation.
