The sales pipeline is the most important sales management tool there is. The sales pipeline is like the hard drive of a computer. Like your hard drive, if the pipeline gets messed up or filled with crap, everything slows down and in the case of sales that means revenue. Inaccurate close dates or no close dates.

Shitty sales management can kill pipeline movement. As sales leaders, we spend so much of our time evaluating our teams and the individuals on them, we often forget that our s**t can stink too. This is especially true with first line managers. I like how the book (The Challenger Sale) does this.

When deals get stuck in the pipeline, revenue is delayed, close rates decrease and quotas are missed. They have no idea what stage deals are in, how long they have been there, when they are supposed to close, the average length of time it takes for deals to close, what their win loss rate is or what their win loss percentage is.
