AI Specialist View

Monday Morning Deal Walkthrough

Weekly Pipeline Review — AE Intelligence V2
⏱ ~10-15 min per specialist 📅 Every Monday
The Rule

This is not a detailed opportunity review. You are showing you know your deals, your numbers are current, and you have a plan. Be ready to talk to every deal on your board. Keep it tight.

The Standard
DG · DP · DE

Your job as an AI Specialist is three things:

DG
Demand Generation
Build pipeline. Always be filling the top of funnel. If you don’t have 5× pipeline, you’re behind.
DP
Deal Progression
Every deal moves forward every week. No stale deals. If it hasn’t moved, explain why and what’s next.
DE
Deal Execution
Close business. Execute the MEP. Hit your milestones. Win the deal.
Pipeline 5×
Your pipeline should be 5× your budget at all times. If your number is €1M, you need €5M in pipeline. No exceptions. If you’re below 5×, your #1 priority is demand generation.
Linearity
Deals close linearly throughout the quarter, not in a Week 13 fire drill. If 80% of your closes are in the last two weeks, you’re not managing your pipeline — it’s managing you.
WHAT TO SAY

“My pipeline is [X]× my budget. I expect to close [Y] this month toward linear attainment. Here’s what’s progressing this week…”

Set the Quarter & Know Your Numbers
ai-specialist.html
AI Specialist View Your Name (auto-selected) CQ Forecast

Open the AI Specialist view. The dashboard defaults to you on login. Make sure the period tab (top right) is set to CQ (Current Quarter) so you’re looking at what matters right now. The view defaults to Forecast — you also have Progression and Changes available.

Before you start talking deals, understand the two value toggles in the filter row:

Currency Selector
CRM AI ACV (€) — the value from the CRM (Thor). In Euros. This is the “official” number.
User AI ACV (€) — your own call on the AI value, in Euros.
User AI ACV ($) — your own call on the AI value, in US Dollars.
The CRM value is what Thor says. Your value is what you believe the AI piece is worth. When there’s a gap, be ready to explain why.
Close Date Toggle
CRM Close Date — the close date from Thor. What the AE has committed to.
User Close Date — your own close date. When you believe it will actually close.
If your close date differs from the CRM date, you need to know why. Either the AE is wrong or you are — either way, have the conversation.

Budget Position
KPI Grid + Budget Bars

Start by sharing where you stand. Two areas to reference:

KPI Grid (8 boxes across the top):

Closed/Won
What you've booked
AI Spec — In
In Call pipeline
AI Spec — Cover
Cover pipeline
AI Spec — Out
Not in call

Budget Progress Bars (below the KPI grid):

  • Left bar: Closed vs Budget — how much you've won against your number
  • Right bar: AI Spec In Call vs Budget — your In Call pipeline coverage
What to say

"My budget is [X]. I've closed [Y]. I have [Z] In Call. That puts me at [%] coverage. My gap is [Go Get amount]."

In Call Deals (Above the Line)
Forecast Table — In Section

The forecast table groups deals into three sections with colored headers:

  • In — deals you've called (above the line)
  • Cover — pipeline coverage
  • Out — not in your call

Start with the In section. Walk through each deal. The table columns are:

Opp # Customer Stage AE JH AI Call CAT Deal Type CRM AI € User AI € User AI $ Other AI Health

Columns marked with ✎ are inline-editable — you can update JH call, AI call, Category, and Deal Type directly in the table.

For each In deal, be ready to state:

  • What the deal is (customer + value)
  • Close date — is it realistic?
  • Health — any concerns?
  • What's happening this week to move it forward

Scroll to the Cover section. For each deal:

  • What needs to happen to move this deal to In?
  • What's the next milestone or event?
  • What's blocking it?
What to say

"Here are my Cover deals and what I'm doing to get them above the line. [Deal X] needs [specific action] before I can call it In. I expect that by [date]."

Quick Look at Q3
Period Tabs → Q3

Click Q3 in the period tabs (top right). Quick scan:

  • What's building for next quarter?
  • Any deals that could pull in to Q2?
  • Any early-stage opportunities needing attention?

This is a 2-minute scan, not a deep dive. Switch back to Q2 when done.

Am I Ready? (Pre-Meeting Checklist)

Before the Monday call, run through this checklist. If you can check every box, you're ready.
