forecast-meeting-prep

What problem does it solve?

Sales managers often waste limited pre-call time scrolling through generic forecast checklists that fail to surface actual pipeline movement patterns, deal-specific risks, or relevant conversation starters, leading to unproductive weekly forecast 1:1s with their account executives.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Week-over-week pipeline diffing: Automatically compares current and prior forecast snapshots to highlight category movements, amount changes, close date drifts, and catches schema drift errors to prevent inaccurate analysis.
• Targeted deal deep dives: Ranks the top 3 commit deals by size, movement, and activity gaps to focus the manager's limited prep window on the highest-impact conversations.
• Pattern-matched question library: Pulls specific, non-generic questions from a curated catalog based on actual deal movement patterns (e.g., commit added with no prior best-case, stalled deals) to avoid generic forecast hygiene questions that reps ignore.
• Use Case: A sales manager prepping for a 1:1 with an AE can use this skill to instantly generate a briefing that flags a $400k commit that dropped $120k overnight, surfaces that the deal has zero meaningful activity in the last 2 weeks, and provides the exact questions to ask to understand the slip, instead of building a checklist from scratch.

Quick Start

Use the forecast-meeting-prep skill to generate a tailored one-page briefing for your upcoming weekly forecast call with a direct report, providing the rep's ID, this week's pipeline snapshot, and last week's snapshot as inputs.
