Stage Model

Pipeline stage architecture — defining the stages, exit criteria, and velocity benchmarks that structure your commercial pipeline.

What It Is

The Stage Model defines the discrete phases a deal moves through from creation to close — including SQL, Opportunity, Proposal, Negotiation, and Closed stages. Each stage has entry criteria, exit criteria, and expected velocity.

Why It Matters

Without a formal Stage Model, pipeline reporting is fiction. Reps define stages differently, deals linger in early stages indefinitely, and forecasting becomes guesswork. A Stage Model creates a shared language for the entire revenue team.

What We Deliver

  • Stage definition with entry/exit criteria
  • Velocity benchmarks per stage
  • Conversion rate targets
  • Stage-skip and regression rules
  • CRM implementation and automation
