Fast Friday Win #21 – The Pipeline Power Hour: How Sales Directors Build Momentum

Top-performing sales teams are not built on luck - they’re built on rhythm.

And one of the most effective routines you can introduce today is the Pipeline Power Hour.
It’s a simple, one-hour weekly session that keeps your sales engine running smoothly.


⚡ The Pipeline Power Hour Structure

1️⃣ Review Your Wins and Near Misses
Start positive. Look at what closed this week and what almost did. There are lessons in both.

2️⃣ Check Your Active Pipeline
Where’s the movement? Which deals are stuck? Who needs following up?
A quick scan keeps you proactive, not reactive.

3️⃣ Prioritise Your Top 3 Opportunities
Focus your time on the deals that will make the biggest impact this week.

4️⃣ Identify Gaps and Bottlenecks
Look for patterns - delays, missing information, or lack of decision-makers.

5️⃣ Commit to Action
Every rep (or you, if solo) leaves the hour with three clear next steps.


💡 Fast Win

Block one hour every Friday for your Pipeline Power Hour.
No distractions. No admin. Just pure focus.

It’s the small, consistent habits that drive big, consistent results.
