Forecast Call Pack
What This Skill Does
Produces a forecast-call PowerPoint pack a sales manager can walk into a VP review with: roll-up
by forecast category, changes since the last submission, top deals with confidence narrative, and
a risk register.
When To Use
- "Build the forecast call pack for this month"
- "VP forecast review deck"
- "QBR forecast pack"
Do not use for weekly pipeline review (weekly-pipeline-review-deck) or for a single-account brief
(account-deep-dive-brief).
Required Connector Tools
get_forecast
get_team_pipeline_summary
get_team_performance_metrics
list_opportunities (open in the period + recently closed)
get_pipeline_dashboard
get_account_360 (per top deal)
get_activity_timeline (per top deal)
list_reports / run_report (when a custom forecast report exists)
Default Workflow
- Determine the period (default current quarter).
- Pull team forecast roll-up by category: Closed, Commit, Best Case, Pipeline, Omitted.
- Pull last submission's totals (if available via
list_reports+run_report); compute deltas.
- Identify the top 5 deals contributing to Commit and the top 5 risks (deals slipped, lost in
period, or moved out of Commit).
- Build the deck.
Slide Map
| # | Title | Visual | Notes |
|---|
| 1 | {{team}} Forecast — {{period}} | KPI strip: Closed, Commit, Best Case, Pipeline, Quota gap | |
| 2 | Roll-up by Category | Stacked bar by AE / segment | |
| 3 | Change Since Last Submission | Waterfall: previous → added → removed → moved → current | |
| 4 | Coverage & Linearity | Coverage ratio + week-by-week closed pace | |
| 5..9 | Top Commit Deals | Per-deal one-pager (see layout) | |
| 10 | Risk Register | Table of slipped / regressed / lost deals with mitigation | |
| 11 | Asks for the Business | Specific exec actions needed (not generic "support") | |
Per Top-Commit Deal Layout
- Opp, account, amount, close, stage, probability, forecast category
- Decision team summary (from
get_account_360)
- 3 most recent material activities
- Manager confidence narrative (one short paragraph the manager can speak to)
- Risks and required next steps
Analysis Rules
- "Commit" must reconcile to
get_forecast Commit total; if it doesn't, stop and surface the
reconciliation gap as the first slide bullet.
- "Change since last submission" requires a prior snapshot; if unavailable, state on slide 3 that
delta is not computable and show only current totals.
- Risk register must list named deals only — no "general macro risk".
- Asks for the business must each name an exec, an action, and a date.
Tone
Forecasting discipline. No optimism without evidence. State assumptions explicitly.
