Sales Leadership

How to get your sales forecasts so accurate it feels ILLEGAL

October 27, 20251 min read

Quick question: How many times have you moved a close date this year?

If you're like most reps, probably more times than you want to admit.

Here's why that keeps happening...

Your CRM stages are measuring what YOU'RE doing, not what the BUYER is deciding.

Discovery = you asked questions

Demo = you showed your product

Proposal = you sent pricing

But none of that tells you if the buyer has actually progressed.

Did they acknowledge there's a real problem?

Have multiple stakeholders validated it matters?

Did an executive authorize solving it?

These are the stages that actually predict if deals close.

I just dropped a new video breaking down the ADVANCED framework... the exact 8 buyer commitment stages I used to take my forecast accuracy from 60% to 95%+.

You'll learn:

→ The real stages buyers move through (hint: nothing like your CRM)

→ Why your "80% deals" keep slipping quarters

→ The disqualification triggers that kill 70% of pipeline

→ How to know if a deal is real or just happy ears

This framework helped me manage 110 reps delivering $190M annually at Cintas.

It'll help you finally know which deals are closing and which ones are just wasting your time
