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.
