The output · not a call recap
A deal recovery plan is the artifact you take into the forecast call. After Lazarus diagnoses the deal, you get recoverable versus a flat no, the blocker in plain language, and next actions across 0–90 days. Connect HubSpot or Salesforce and it lands on the deal.
Managers do not need a second recorder. They need a written call they can defend: which rep-owned deals close, which stalled deals still deserve effort, and what happens in the next two weeks versus the rest of the quarter.
Copy for CRM, or Push to HubSpot or Salesforce. The note on the deal is the plan: what is going on, who does what, and the dated actions.
Illustrative output for a stalled mid-market deal. Your report uses your evidence.
Recovery plan (example)
Call on the deal: Recoverable — the problem is still live; security was never addressed.
Blocker: Procurement wants a security review. The champion has not scheduled it.
This week: Get the champion to book the security review.
30 days: Send the one-pager they can forward internally.
60 days: Multi-thread to finance so procurement is not the only gate.
90 days: If there is still no buyer-owned step, treat it as a flat no and remove it from the forecast.
On the deal: Blocker = unaddressed security review. Next step owned by champion. Do not keep this at 80%.
The four-step method behind those actions is on How do I recover this deal? Use it on a stalled or closed-lost opportunity. Lazarus never joins Zoom, Meet, or Teams.
