Running a weekly deal review

Course · 5 parts · The Meridian team · 29 January 2026

A repeatable ritual for keeping the pipeline clean, using the record as the single source of truth.

CRM adoption sticks when it's built into the rhythm of the week. This short course walks through the weekly deal review that high-performing teams run.

1 · Start from the record, not memory

Open the pipeline in Meridian and work from what's there. If a deal isn't in the system, it isn't in the review — that rule alone keeps the data honest.

2 · Flag anything stalled

Sort by last activity. Anything untouched for seven days or more gets a decision: advance it, park it, or close it out. Dead deals leave the pipeline.

3 · Walk the top deals together

Spend the bulk of the time on the deals that move the number — what changed, what's next, and what's at risk. Keep it to a few minutes each.

4 · Base the forecast on real stages

Use the logged stages and probabilities as the input to your forecast, not gut feel. Clean stages in, defensible forecast out.

5 · End with owned next steps

Every deal discussed leaves the review with an owner and a next action logged in Meridian. That's what makes next week's review fast.
