Your CRM is hiding a fortune in plain sight.
Right now, 40-60% of your B2B pipeline sits stalled-deals that marketing worked hard to generate, sales fought to advance, and your company paid good money to acquire. These aren't failed leads. They're sleeping giants that could wake up and close with the right approach.
The brutal math: If you're carrying $2M in stalled pipeline, you're potentially sitting on $800K-$1.2M in recoverable revenue. For PE/VC- backed companies where every dollar of pipeline investment must perform, this isn't just inefficiency—it's opportunity cost at scale.

Most sales teams write these off as "bad timing." But timing changes. Budgets unfreeze. New champions emerge. The question isn't whether these deals are dead-it's whether you have a system to bring them back to life.
This isn't about sending "just checking in" emails into the void. The Deal Resurrection Play is a systematic approach to reactivating dormant opportunities through:
Intelligent Deal Triage
Strategic Re-engagement
Pipeline Hygiene
Here's where it gets interesting for marketing teams: Deal Resurrection directly improves MQL-to-revenue conversion rates. When you successfully reactivate a stalled opportunity that originated from marketing, that original campaign gets credit for the closed- won deal. This means:
