Why Salesforce opportunity management breaks down
Most teams use Salesforce to track deals. But Salesforce opportunity management isn’t just about logging data—it’s about knowing what’s real, what’s moving, and what’s stuck.
That’s where it fails. Reps don’t update Salesforce in real time. Forecasts shift with no warning. Leaders ask questions no one can answer.
You spend hours pulling exports, piecing together what happened, and explaining it on every call.
Real questions you hear every week
Why did the forecast drop?
Which deals are stalled?
Who pushed their close date—and why?
The truth is: your leaders don’t know how to get that info from Salesforce. So the burden falls on you.
The fix: real-time Salesforce opportunity management in spreadsheets
