A weekly review for checking client conversations, promised follow-ups, and next week’s priorities. Includes a sample 30-minute agenda.
Put a Weekly Review on the Calendar
A short review gives you time to check who needs a response, what you promised, and which decisions are still open. Use the agenda below as a starting point and allow more time when your workload requires it.
A Sample 30-Minute Review
Choose a recurring time you can usually keep. Have your calendar, task list, and CRM open so the review ends with updated records.
Step 1: Pipeline Snapshot (10 Minutes)
Ask Yourself Three Questions
- Who am I currently in conversation with?
- Where is each person actually in the decision process?
- Who needs a clear next step?
Simple Categories
- New conversations
- Active nurtures
- Hot opportunities
- Past clients / follow-ups
Record the next action, a date to revisit, or the person’s preference for no further follow-up.
Step 2: Follow-Up Integrity Check (5 Minutes)
This is where most pipelines quietly break.
Review:
- Who did I say I’d follow up with last week?
- Did I actually do it?
- If not, why?
This isn’t about guilt. It’s about tightening your word, to others and to yourself.
Step 3: One Revenue-Moving Priority (5 Minutes)
Choose one action that will most move your pipeline forward next week.
Not five. One.
Examples:
- Book two nurture check-in calls
- Send one investor update
- Reconnect with one paused buyer
Clarity creates calm.
Step 4: Script the Outreach (5 Minutes)
Draft the messages you expect to need next week. Use the actual context and respect each person’s contact preferences.
Simple Check-In Script
“Hey [Name], quick check-in. Last time we spoke, you were [context]. Curious what’s changed since then, want to reconnect this week?”
No pressure. No performance. Just presence.
Step 5: Personal Reset (5 Minutes)
End the review by grounding yourself.
Ask:
- What worked last week?
- What drained me?
- What do I want next week to feel like?
This keeps the process sustainable, not just productive.
Check What Changed
After several reviews, look at missed commitments, overdue tasks, and conversations with no clear next step. If the same item keeps moving forward, decide whether to act, delegate it, or close it with an accurate note.
Keep the review focused on decisions you can make. It should leave you with a more useful calendar and task list.
