## Prompt

```text
Help me deal with stalled opportunities in my team's pipeline.

**Stalled deals:** [paste list: account, amount, stage, days in stage, last buyer response, last activity, close date, notes]
**What counts as stalled for us:** [e.g. no buyer response in 21 days, or stage age over 2x average]
**Assets we can use:** [case studies, new features, events, ROI tools, exec sponsors]

Steps:
1. Sort each deal into: Revive (real pain and fit, momentum lost), Re-qualify (unclear if the opportunity is real), or Close out (no evidence of a buying process). Give a one-line reason from the data.
2. For Revive deals, identify the likely cause of the stall: champion went quiet, priorities changed, lost to status quo, stuck in procurement, no exec access, or price shock.
3. Match a re-engagement play to each cause: new stakeholder, new insight, a direct "should we close this out?" message, exec-to-exec outreach, or a reframed business case.
4. Draft a short message for each Revive deal: under 90 words, specific to the account, no guilt-tripping, one easy question to answer.
5. For Close out deals, list what to record (loss reason) and when to set a future follow-up.

Return:
- A triage table: Deal | Category | Likely cause | Play | Owner | Deadline.
- Draft messages for Revive deals.
- Re-qualification questions for the rep.
- The pipeline value removed and the effect on coverage.

Don't invent account details; use [ADD] where a message needs specifics I haven't given.
