Pipeline review agenda where reps flag deals in advance

A pipeline review turns into a CRM read-aloud when nobody says in advance which deals need help. Everyone recites their number, the manager coaches whichever deal happens to come up last, and the stuck opportunities stay stuck.

Agendair asks for the exception rather than the list. Before the call, reps submit the specific deals where they need a decision — pricing approval, an exec sponsor, a legal exception — with the people whose sign-off they need tagged on the row. The program email publishes that shortlist the morning of the review.

Approvals are recorded in the same rows, which gives the manager a defensible history of discounts and exceptions granted, by whom and when, without a separate approvals spreadsheet.
