In a recent blog post Lisa Wicklman suggests that there are really only two questions salespeople need to ask themselves:
- Do I need to find more opportunities to put into my pipeline?
- Do I need to win more of the opportunities that are already in my pipeline?
The first addresses what you need to do to fill the top of the funnel and the second the challenge of pipeline pull-through.
