Time kills deals. We all know it. Yet, in 2025, slow-moving pipelines and endless sales cycles are more common than ever. Buyers have more power, more options, and more reasons to delay decisions.

But what if you could flip that dynamic and move deals forward faster? Nick Cegelski, founder of 30 Minutes to President’s Club and author of Cold Calling Sucks, has mastered this art. He shared seven practical ways—from securing same-day next steps to holding pre-discovery calls with stakeholders—sellers can speed things up, accelerate pipeline velocity, and close more business.

Nick’s team at 30MPC also co-authored The Ultimate Guide to Managing Your Pipeline. Download your copy to keep your pipeline hygiene on point — and turn a cleaner, stronger pipeline into more closed deals: https://www.insightly.com/30mpc/
