#70 Pipeline Management mistakes that cost you revenue - with Jeff Ignacio, Head of GTM Operations at Keystone AI

Jeff Ignacio, RevOps expert and creator of Revenue Operations Impact, returns to the podcast to deep-dive into advanced pipeline management. With years of experience optimizing sales processes at high-growth startups, Jeff breaks down the mechanics of pipeline health, forecasting accuracy, and the operating cadences that separate top-performing revenue teams from the rest.


If you’ve ever wondered why the classic 3x pipeline coverage rule is flawed or how to refine your pipeline reviews for better forecasting, this episode is packed with tactical insights you won’t want to miss.


We cover:

  • Why pipeline management is the foundation of great forecasting

  • The 3x pipeline coverage rule—truth or myth?

  • How to structure effective pipeline reviews that actually move the needle

  • Best practices for building operating cadences that scale

  • The role of RevOps in helping sales teams drive predictability

  • The biggest mistakes revenue teams make when inspecting pipeline health
