4 Steps To Run A Pipeline Review (That Doesn't Suck)

Connect With Maryana on LinkedIn


Maryana Kessel shares a masterclass on how elite sales leaders drive revenue by staying deal-close, asking hard questions, and building trust across every stage of the enterprise sales cycle.


🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:

  • Lead from the Front: Maryana emphasizes being present in deals, not as a “super rep,” but as a strategic leader who earns respect by staying close to customers and reps.
  • When in Doubt, Get on a Plane: Big deals get unstuck in person. Face-to-face time with buyers breaks down barriers and uncovers the real story behind stalled negotiations.
  • Forecast with Evidence, Not Hope: Deals don’t hit the forecast without executive alignment, a redline back, and a clear go-live timeline. Anything else is just noise.
  • Build a weekly report of key meetings, and proactively ask reps critical questions about their biggest deals. Use this to decide where to engage directly and ensure rep readiness.
