THE REAL PIPELINE PROBLEM
You don't have a volume problem. You have a quality problem.
69-83% of opportunities in a typical B2B pipeline are reactive — buyer-led, not seller-initiated. Reactive opportunities win at 18-25%. Proactive opportunities win at 33-41%. That gap is your pipeline problem, and no amount of top-of-funnel activity fixes it.
When your team does prospect, most of them skip the work that makes outreach effective: understanding the buyer's strategic challenges, identifying the right stakeholders, and leading with a point of view instead of a product pitch. The result is pipeline that looks full on paper but stalls when it matters.
The Together We Win™ Pipeline Development Workshop produces real opportunities — with identified stakeholders, Business Value Hypotheses, and 60-day engagement plans — while building the muscle memory to do it again next quarter without help.

WHAT CHANGES
The workshop is a working session, not a classroom. Teams bring actual target accounts and work through them with hands-on facilitation and coaching. Every account that enters the room leaves with a plan.
Reps are coached through building a Business Value Hypothesis for each targeted account— not a generic value prop, but a specific, testable articulation of the problem you see, the impact you anticipate, and the change you propose. The BVH gives your reps a point of view to lead with. It's the difference between "I'd love to tell you about our platform" and a conversation the buyer actually wants to have.
The Influence Map drives the engagement plan. Who do you contact first? Who holds the power? What's the relationship between stakeholders? The map gets built before the first call — so your team walks in with a multi-threaded strategy, not a single-contact prayer.
Before any outreach happens, your team does the research most reps skip. They assess existing relationship capital using the Relationship Bank Account — who on your team already has access, where deposits have been made, where you're starting from zero. This shapes the approach. You don't pursue an account the same way when you have a warm relationship at the VP level versus cold outreach to a name on a list.
The specific language of value for each contact is built and tested through role playing — so when the rep picks up the phone, the outreach drives real engagement, not a fumbled pitch.
The 60-day action plan is the deliverable. Specific next steps, owners, deadlines, and commitments your managers can inspect against in the weeks following the workshop. Not aspirational — executable.
WHEN TO USE IT
- Early in the fiscal year when coverage is thin and the team is staring at a new number
- New product launch into an existing customer base
- New segment or vertical where the team doesn't have the hypothesis or the stakeholder knowledge yet
- Competitive displacement campaigns that require coordinated pursuit
- Post-reorg — new territories, new accounts, stale pipeline from the old structure
RESULTS
Pipeline uplift of 20-30%. Deal sizes grow by 30-40%.
The process is designed for knowledge transfer — managers participate alongside reps, learn the facilitation methodology, and run subsequent sessions independently. The goal is a repeatable discipline your organization owns, not a dependency on us.
