Revenue Leadership System
Revenue Pipeline Scorecard™
Work in progress. I am actively looking for feedback from sales and revenue leaders. Diagnose the number using actual Salesforce or HubSpot opportunity data.
Before You Start
Prepare one CRM file
For the strongest diagnostic, export your current open opportunities/deals plus 6–12 months of recently closed opportunities in the same CSV. The open records are what we diagnose. Closed Won and Closed Lost history lets the scorecard calculate your actual historical win rate and sales-cycle behavior instead of asking you to estimate them.
What should be in the file?
Export one row per opportunity/deal. Include as many of these fields as your CRM currently has. Do not create information just to complete the scorecard.
| Information | Why the scorecard uses it |
|---|---|
| Opportunity / Deal Name | Identifies each opportunity during your local analysis. |
| Amount / ARR | Measures open pipeline value and concentration. |
| Stage / Deal Stage | Separates open, Closed Won and Closed Lost records and helps assess deal maturity. |
| Created Date | Lets the scorecard calculate historical sales-cycle behavior from closed deals. |
| Close Date | Tests forecast timing and helps calculate closed-deal history. |
| Probability (if available) | Helps identify genuinely late-stage opportunities without asking you to number your stages. |
| Opportunity / Deal Owner | Helps identify manager and rep patterns. |
| Last Meaningful Activity | Tests whether open pipeline is active or stale. |
| Next Step and Next Step Date | Tests whether there is a defined, current customer action. |
| Close-Date Changes / Slip Count | Identifies opportunities that are repeatedly pushed, when your CRM tracks it. |
| Economic Buyer | Tests buyer coverage. |
| Champion | Tests buyer coverage. |
| Business Pain / Problem | Tests qualification evidence. |
| Decision Process | Tests whether the buying process is understood. |
Salesforce: Show me exactly how to create the CSV
Create an Opportunities report that includes both the pipeline you want diagnosed and enough closed history to establish your actual baseline.
- Open Reports and choose New Report.
- Select an Opportunities report type.
- Set Show Me to the opportunity population you want analyzed, usually All Opportunities for the team or segment.
- Use a date range broad enough to include all current open opportunities plus Closed Won and Closed Lost opportunities from the last 6–12 months.
- Add the fields listed above that exist in your Salesforce organization. Include Opportunity Name, Amount/ARR, Stage, Created Date and Close Date at minimum.
- If your organization has Opportunity History or tracked fields for stage/close-date changes, include the relevant history or custom slip-count field when practical. Salesforce's Opportunity History report can show stage and close-date history.
- Run the report and confirm it contains current open pipeline and recent closed history.
- From the report menu choose Export → Details Only → Comma Delimited .csv.
- Save the CSV and select it below.
HubSpot: Show me exactly how to create the CSV
Create a Deals view that contains the open pipeline you want diagnosed plus recent closed history.
- Go to CRM → Deals.
- Create or open a view for the team, pipeline or segment you want evaluated.
- Include current open deals plus Closed Won and Closed Lost deals from the last 6–12 months.
- Include the properties listed above that exist in your portal. At minimum include Deal Name, Amount/ARR, Deal Stage, Create Date and Close Date.
- Export the records as CSV. HubSpot allows CRM record exports and lets you choose properties for the export.
- Download the completed export, then select the CSV below.
Your CSV stays on your device and is analyzed locally in your browser. CRM interfaces and permissions vary by account; if you cannot export records, contact your CRM administrator.
1. About you
This identifies the beta test. These details remain in your browser unless you choose to send your results.
2. What are you trying to achieve? Optional
This is the only business input we ask you for. Everything else we can reasonably calculate is derived from the CRM file.
Leave it blank. We will still score pipeline quality, freshness, next-step discipline, forecast integrity, buyer coverage and concentration. Pipeline sufficiency against target will be shown as Not Scored.
3. Select the CRM file you prepared above
CSV FILES ONLY (.csv)
Select the CSV containing your current open opportunities/deals plus recent Closed Won and Closed Lost history.
The file is read locally by this browser. Selecting it does not send the file to Mike or Revenue Leadership System. If you have not created the CSV yet, use the Salesforce or HubSpot instructions above first.
No CSV file selected.
Pipeline diagnosis
Score by dimension
Beta Feedback
Does the diagnosis match what you know?
The score is only useful if it reflects reality. Please answer these questions before sharing your scorecard. Your feedback helps us test the model, not your company.
Required questions are marked *. Your answers are included only when you choose to share your scorecard with Mike.
Share a copy of your scorecard with Mike
Sharing is optional. If you choose to share, Mike receives a privacy-safe copy of the diagnostic you see here: your identity, overall score, available dimension scores, historical win rate and sales-cycle insights, major diagnostic findings, and aggregated manager inspection counts. Your CSV and opportunity-level records are never attached or included.
What to inspect first
Manager inspection queue
The model flags evidence gaps. It does not declare a deal dead. Validate the customer evidence.
