Sales Daily Briefing

When to use

Use this at the start of the day when you have calendar, pipeline, and inbox signals and need one ranked list of what matters — so the rep works the highest-leverage actions instead of the loudest ones.

Not for: weekly pipeline health inspection (use sales-pipeline-review); period forecasting (use sales-forecast); deep prep for a single call (use sales-call-prep).

Method

1. Gather inputs. Pull today's meetings, deals with movement or aging, unanswered prospect replies, and triggers (new signups, champion changes, renewals due).
2. Score by impact and urgency. Rank by deal value × stage × time-sensitivity. A stalled six-figure deal outranks a fresh low-value lead. Decision point: two items tie → break it by reversibility (a today-only window beats an anytime task).
3. Prep today's meetings. For each call, give a one-line objective and the single thing to remember.
4. Surface at-risk deals. Flag anything gone quiet, slipping past close date, or missing a next step.
5. List hot follow-ups. Replies and commitments owed today, with the action needed.
6. Note new signals. Trigger events worth a same-day outreach.
7. Cap the list. Give a focused top set, not an exhaustive dump. Decision point: more than ~3 "top" priorities → you haven't prioritized; force-rank and demote.

Example

Inputs: 4 meetings, 2 aging deals, 6 unread replies, 1 renewal in 5 days. Output top 3: (1) $180K deal silent 9 days with close date this week — call the champion before noon; (2) renewal in 5 days, no QBR booked — send scheduling link now; (3) reply from an economic buyer asking for pricing — respond before the 10am call. Everything else drops below the fold. Focus line: "Protect the two deals closing this week."

Pitfalls

• Dumping, not ranking. A 20-item list is a to-do list, not a briefing; it defaults the rep to the loudest item.
• Recency bias. The newest email is rarely the highest-leverage action.
• Meeting prep as an afterthought. A call with no objective is a wasted slot.
• Missing the silent deal. Big deals die quietly; aging + no-next-step must surface.
