Workflow solution / Revenue operations

Sales Recovery Engine

A small operating system for recovering revenue from stalled sales conversations.

A workflow tool for finding, prioritizing, and reactivating sales opportunities that quietly fell out of motion.

Implementation

Code Behind The Surface

Prioritizing dormant revenue

ts

The core move behind the product surface.

const recoveryQueue = opportunities
  .filter((opp) => daysSince(opp.lastTouch) > 21)
  .map((opp) => ({
    ...opp,
    nextAction: chooseRecoveryPlaybook(opp.stage, opp.stallReason),
  }));

Product Model

ts

The useful answer has to be modeled before the UI can make it obvious.

type ProductSurface = {
  input: "Revenue operations";
  signal: "How much revenue is hiding in old conversations that never received the right next a";
  proof: string[];
};

const surface: ProductSurface = {
  input: "Revenue operations",
  signal: "Stalled opportunities ranked by recency, fit, and likely action.",
  proof: [
  "Dormant opportunity detection",
  "Recovery reason grouping",
  "Next-action suggestions",
  "Pipeline prioritization"
],
};

Hard Part

ts

Every build has a constraint: data quality, workflow shape, trust, speed, or operational risk.

const constraint = {
  project: "Sales Recovery Engine",
  status: "Prototype",
  category: "Workflow solution",
  hardPart: "This kind of tool can turn messy CRM history into a near-term revenue motion without requiring a company to in...",
};

shipSurface(constraint);

Project Logic

Why This Exists

The point is not to show another screen. It is to show the gap, the build constraint, and the proof of work.

Mission

How much revenue is hiding in old conversations that never received the right next action?

Sales teams often lose opportunities through drift, not rejection. The data exists in CRM notes, emails, and stale tasks, but the reactivation workflow is rarely treated like a product.

Build

What Had To Work

I built a recovery workflow that identifies dormant opportunities, groups them by likely reason for stalling, and creates a clearer path to the next useful touch.

Why It Matters

Dormant pipeline

Finds leverage in stalled pipeline without needing a new acquisition channel.

Hard Parts

Make The Signal Useful

Find acquisition and revenue leverage inside the pipeline a company already paid to create.

Turn The Work Into A System

I built a recovery workflow that identifies dormant opportunities, groups them by likely reason for stalling, and creates a clearer path to the next useful touch.

Prove The Wedge

This kind of tool can turn messy CRM history into a near-term revenue motion without requiring a company to invent a new funnel.

Decisions

Dormant opportunity detection
Recovery reason grouping
Next-action suggestions
Pipeline prioritization

Next Move

I would connect actual CRM data, measure recovery lift by segment, and add account-level playbooks that adapt to the stall reason.

Market Gap

Demand exists, but the answer is missing.

Workflow Drag

The work is still too manual, slow, or scattered.

Product Wedge

A small surface could prove the larger opportunity.
