Pipedrive Stale Deal Follow-Ups: Keep Pipeline Moving
Nudge idle Pipedrive deals with a simple day 3, 7, and 14 cadence—without reps living in chase mode.

Pipedrive shows stale deals; it does not send the follow-up. Teams need a queue and templates tied to deal stage.

Stale deal cadence
Assign one owner per open deal.
- Day 3 idle: value recap plus one question
- Day 7 idle: objection check and timeline ask
- Day 14 idle: close-the-loop with next options
- Weekly: review deals with no activity 10+ days
