Look at your pipeline right now. How many of those deals are actually moving, and how many are just still on the list?
There's a difference between a deal that's progressing and a deal that hasn't officially died yet. Most pipelines are full of the second kind. The call felt good. The buyer was engaged. Then the next step got vague, nobody said no, and the forecast quietly stopped meaning anything.
The cause usually isn't effort, product knowledge, or likability. It's what happens inside the conversation. When there's no agreed structure, the buyer builds one, and their version tends to end with "send me some information."
