I keep running into the same issue: reps say they will fix their fields after the deal moves, then month end arrives and the pipeline report is a mess. Last week I had one team where the same opportunity showed up in three stages for two different managers, and nobody trusted the numbers. I tried a stricter process and got immediate pushback because it felt like extra admin work. The funny part is the reps were not trying to be difficult, they just wanted to keep selling and clean it up later. For teams that have solved this, what actually works best in practice? Weekly cleanup, stage rules, manager review, or something else that keeps data usable without making sellers hate the process?
