Sales Ops Weekly Reporting Checklist
The Friday-to-Monday run-of-show for RevOps: every data pull, sanity check, and escalation flag needed before the pipeline meeting starts, laid out in the order you actually work it.
What's inside
- Thursday PM setup pass (attendee list, PTO context, CRM edit lock)
- Friday EOD data-freeze and hygiene checks (duplicates, stale close dates, missing next steps)
- Weekend automated pulls (pipeline created/advanced/slipped/closed, forecast roll-up, activity metrics)
- Monday 7am sanity checks (coverage ratio, deal aging, concentration risk, new-logo vs. expansion mix)
- Monday 8am red-flag and escalation list build
- Pre-meeting package and 90-minutes-ahead distribution rule
- In-meeting 7-step run-of-show agenda
- Multi-threading and single-threaded-deal spot check on top 10 forecasted deals
The Friday → Monday run-of-show for RevOps, in the order you actually work it
Cadence: Timed to a Monday pipeline meeting. Shift the clock times to match your own meeting slot — keep the order, it's built to catch problems before they reach the room.
A. Thursday PM — Set Up the Week's Pull
- Confirm Monday meeting attendee list, including any exec or board guests (changes what needs polishing)
- Check for holidays/PTO affecting rep activity this week — context for anomalies, not an excuse for them
- Confirm CRM fields lock for editing after Friday's freeze (no late-Friday deal backdating)
B. Friday EOD — Data Freeze & Hygiene Pass
- Freeze the CRM snapshot (export or timestamp lock) — this is the single source of truth for the week
- Run a duplicate-contact / duplicate-deal report and merge or flag
- Flag deals with a close date in the past that are still marked open
- Flag deals with no next step / no next activity logged — the single biggest forecast-integrity killer
- Flag stage-vs-probability mismatches (e.g., "Verbal Commit" sitting at 30%, "Discovery" sitting at 90%)
- Confirm every closed-won deal has a signed contract or order form attached before it counts toward the number
C. Weekend — Automated Pulls (schedule these; don't hand-run them Monday morning)
- Pipeline created this week ($ and #, by rep / team / segment)
- Pipeline advanced this week (stage-to-stage movement, by rep)
- Pipeline slipped (close date pushed), with reason code and days slipped
- Closed-won and closed-lost this week, with loss reason
- Current open pipeline by stage, by rep, by close-quarter
- Forecast roll-up: Commit / Best Case / Pipeline / Closed, by rep and by team
- Rep activity metrics: dials, connects, meetings booked, meetings held — vs. weekly target
- Renewal/expansion book (if you carry it): upcoming renewals in the next 30/60/90 days with a health flag
D. Monday 7:00am — Sanity Checks (don't trust a single number until these pass)
- Coverage check — is open pipeline ≥ 3–4x remaining quarter quota, by rep and by team?
- Aging check — flag any deal sitting in the same stage more than 2x the average time-in-stage for that stage
- Concentration check — does any single deal represent more than 20% of a rep's forecast? Flag it for scrutiny
- New-logo vs. expansion mix check — does the ratio still match plan, or has the team quietly drifted toward easier expansion deals to protect the number?
- Activity-vs-outcome check — cross-reference reps with low activity against their forecast commitments; a rep can't safely commit deals they aren't creating pipeline behind
- Multi-threading check — spot-check the top 10 forecasted deals for number of contacts engaged; single-threaded "Commit" deals are a leading indicator of slippage
E. Monday 8:00am — Flag & Escalate
- Build the Red Flag list: deals marked Commit that fail two or more of the checks in section D
- Build the Needs Manager Attention list: reps whose activity or pipeline-creation is trending below what's needed to hit next quarter
- Note any rep who has not updated a forecasted deal in 7+ days
- Note any deal whose close date has slipped more than once this quarter
- Draft a one-line reason for each flag — not "this looks wrong," but why it looks wrong
F. Monday, Pre-Meeting — Package & Distribute
- One-page pipeline summary: this week vs. last week vs. same week last quarter
- Forecast roll-up table by rep and team, with variance to plan called out explicitly
- Red-flag list sent to managers before the meeting, with an owner and a recommended action on each line — never read cold in the room
- Pre-read distributed 60–90 minutes ahead so managers walk in briefed, not surprised
G. In the Meeting — Run-of-Show
- 1. Headline number: total forecast vs. plan, one sentence
- 2. Movement since last week: created / advanced / slipped / closed
- 3. Coverage ratio by team, named explicitly if below threshold
- 4. Red flags, one at a time, owner responds live
- 5. Activity trend vs. target — the leading-indicator check (see the Leading vs Lagging Indicator Framework)
- 6. Renewals/expansion at risk in the next 30 days
- 7. Actions and owners captured live — never "we'll follow up offline"
How to use it
Run it top to bottom every week as-is; the section order is the actual sequence of a Thursday-to-Monday reporting cycle, so skipping ahead defeats the sanity checks that catch bad forecasts before they reach leadership.
