In this video, dive into qualitative metrics that focus primarily on making sure the data used for reporting purposes is solid. Also, review five elements to keep in check to maximize data quality.

Now what happens if the close date passes…and nothing happens?…No deal is signed and the opportunity…is still ongoing.…Then nothing happens in Salesforce.…The close date is an input from…the opportunity owner.…Salesforce does not update automatically.…It is the responsibility of the opportunity owner…to update the close date regularly…to ensure it is still in the future…and at a realistic date.…Another element that can significantly impact…the quality of your pipeline is…if the stages and probabilities are off.…
Setting stages and probabilities…is an imperfect science.…It is therefore critical to review…
