Hand in hand with Lost Deal Reviews at the beginning of the quarter are the more actionable Slipped Deal Reviews. These meetings are more actionable since slipped deals are still in play if you keep your eyes on them. 👀 

 

Slipped Deal Reviews can be done at any time, but when you’re answering “What deals from last quarter slipped into this quarter?”, it’s best to ask early — say in week 2 of your quarter. 🗓

 

Watch below as Director of Commercial Account Management, @Landon Scott , asks Clari this question in Flow.

 

 

Questions we ask ourselves when we look at these deals: Are they still viable or are we inflating our pipeline? How do we get ahead and make sure they close instead of slip further?

 

Any others you would add to the list?

This is great! Having a slipped reason field configured in Clari will allow you to better understand why the deal slipped and if there is an opportunity to bring the deal back in. I’ve seen customers click on the slipped deals to be able to group by slipped reason and owner within the opportunity module. This allows for coaching opportunities or support from sales leaders.

@dding agreed! Slipped reason is a great forcing function to make sure reps are being diligent in their close dates- helpful to address what’s slipping because of budget vs competitors vs timing, etc. 

Slipped reviews are great to happen on a regular cadence because it’s something that can typically be actioned (as opposed to lost reviews where the decision has already been made 🙁 womp womp). 

One thing I’ve seen work well is to incorporate slipped reviews on a small scale into the Mgr<>Rep 1:1 cadence by adding a slipped deal widget to a 1:1 dashboard. Helps keep this top of mind in the field and not just at the VP/leadership level!

@Anjanette Jacalne this may be of interest when reviewing slipped deals with the team!

Great Video! “Slipped” CQ means “Pushed In” for NQ. Always helpful to look for Pushed In opps for NQ analysis/planning. Using this in parallel with # of monthly pushes in the opp insights panel compounds the level of insight of your slipped deal anaylsis.
