Sales Weekly Update Template for Pipeline and Forecasts
Use this when leaders need to understand pipeline movement, forecast confidence, and deal risk.
Sales updates should focus on what moved in the pipeline, which deals changed forecast, and where support is needed to close or expand.

How to write it
Lead with pipeline movement
Readers should know what advanced, stalled, or changed forecast immediately.
Summarize customer themes
Patterns from calls can influence messaging and product.
Be honest about risk
A deal at risk is more useful early than after the quarter closes.
Mistakes to avoid
Reporting only closed deals
Leadership also needs pipeline health and forecast changes.
Skipping why deals moved
Context matters for coaching and forecasting.
Hiding support needs
Say when pricing, product, or legal help is needed.
