OutcomeAn open deal with no scheduled next step date gets flagged and a task lands on the owner's list, so "someday" deals surface before they quietly go cold.

When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it as a lightweight, single-notification companion to deal-hygiene-008, when a scheduled date matters more than the text description of what happens next.
  • Use it on pipelines where reps already book the next call or meeting as a matter of habit, this just catches the exceptions.

Skip it

  • Do not use it if your team logs next actions exclusively as calendar meetings rather than a deal property, a meeting-based check needs different criteria (associated engagement type, not a property).
  • Do not add the delay-and-escalate sequence from deal-hygiene-008 here without checking whether two escalation workflows chasing the same rep for two related fields becomes noise.
