Who this is for
A sales manager wants a weekly review cadence with their AE team that focuses on buyer behaviour rather than pipeline-stage opinion.
Most weekly pipeline reviews are stage-and-amount conversations. The AE reports what the CRM says. The manager challenges or accepts. The conversation rarely surfaces deals that are slipping before the AE notices.
The weekly engagement review pattern uses what Outsolvi tracks (counted opens, clicks, reply labels and hot leads) as the structuring lens. The conversation focuses on deals where buyer engagement does not match the CRM stage.
Pipeline reviews based on CRM stage miss the deals that look fine on paper but have lost buyer engagement. By the time the manager catches it, the slip is already 2-4 weeks old.
Each AE prepares a short list 24 hours before the meeting: deals at Negotiation or later with no counted opens and no replies in 10 days, deals at Discovery with high engagement, and the week's hot leads. Outsolvi doesn't generate this report; the AE builds it from the tracked emails list and the weekly summary email, which counts hot leads.
10 minutes on engagement-decay deals (why is each one quiet, what is the recovery plan), 10 minutes on deals with hot leads (what is the next-step play), 10 minutes on roadblocks.
Manager asks specific buyer-behaviour questions: 'who actually engaged in the last week, what does the engagement say about buying committee dynamics, what is the specific block.'
Each action item has an engagement signal as the success criterion. 'Reach out to executive sponsor, success = a reply within 7 days, or at least a counted open.'
Each unresolved engagement-decay deal carries to next week's agenda with the trailing-7-day engagement update.
Outsolvi supplies the engagement data, not the report. Every open is graded as a person or a machine, so the counts aren't padded by Apple Mail fetches or scanners; hot leads (five counted opens and two clicks on one email) get a flame in the tracked emails list and are counted in each rep's weekly summary email; replies carry a Positive, Negative, Neutral or Out of office label. On Pro, team analytics shows each rep's sent emails, opens, clicks and open rate. There's no engagement-velocity dashboard or per-deal report, and nothing reads your CRM stages. Without the engagement data, the conversation falls back to stage-and-amount.
Combined 60-minute review of all AEs together; engagement-decay deals surfaced collectively.
30-minute per-AE reviews; engagement-decay focus.
Manager reviews engagement-decay across team and pulls only AEs with at-risk pipeline; 1:1 follow-ups.
It substitutes. The stage-and-amount conversation moves to async (Slack update or CRM report); the live time focuses on engagement-grounded deal coaching.
Sometimes initially. AEs whose deals look fine in CRM but have engagement-velocity problems sometimes resist the visibility. The pattern works once the lift on closed deals is visible.
