Sales professionals and leaders alike know the pain of a stuck sales pipeline. You’ve worked hard to fill your CRM with promising opportunities—but instead of closing, those deals just sit there. Day in and day out, the same names, the same stages, and no progress.
So, what gives?
The Frustration of Stagnant Sales Cycles
According to Sandler Atlantic, stuck deals are one of the most common—and most frustrating—challenges in sales. It’s tough enough as a rep when your efforts go nowhere. But it’s even more painful as a sales leader watching your entire team’s pipeline stall out.
If you’re seeing little to no movement in your deals, it's likely due to a few overlooked—but fixable—factors.
Why Deals Get Stuck in the Pipeline
There are key reasons your opportunities aren’t moving forward:
Lack of clarity on next steps
No real urgency from the prospect
Poor qualification early in the sales process
Fear of letting go of dead leads
Each of these issues leads to missed revenue, wasted time, and a demotivated sales team.
How to Get Deals Moving Again
Here’s the good news: there are ways to unstick those deals.
While the video keeps things brief (it’s a YouTube Short, after all), the message is clear—reps and leaders need to take proactive steps to identify what's holding deals back and address those roadblocks head-on.
Some actionable tactics include:
Requalifying stuck opportunities
Re-engaging leads with fresh, value-driven outreach
Letting go of dead deals to focus on high-potential prospects
Training sales teams to spot “false positives” early
