Stop Wasting Time at Pipeline Reviews

Most pipeline reviews are theater. Reps go on defense. Leaders ask surface-level questions. Nothing moves forward. This guide shows you a different approach: reps prepare strategic deal memos before the meeting, everyone reads them async, and the meeting itself focuses entirely on 'How do we close this faster?'

What happens if someone views my LinkedIn page but doesn't engage with content?

Profile views ARE the engagement we track. This isn't about content engagement (likes, comments, shares). When someone views your LinkedIn profile, that's a high-intent signal that they're researching you.

What's a realistic expectation for signal volume?

Signal volume depends on how many LinkedIn accounts you're monitoring, how market-facing you are, and your outreach activity. But volume doesn't matter as much as how you use the signals.
