SUMMARY:Executive Forum: How Are You Making Forecasts More Buyer-Backed?
LOCATION:Zoom meeting
DESCRIPTION:Move Beyond Guesswork and Surface-Level Signals\nDeals that look solid on paper still slip. This session is about grounding your forecast in buyer behavior—not just sales rep inputs or activity metrics.\nWe’ll explore how leaders are improving deal inspection, spotting risk earlier, and building more honest coaching conversations that help the forecast reflect reality. Expect to hear a range of approaches for improving forecast confidence—without slowing down your team.\nDiscussion Prompts to Reflect on Before the Session:\n\n\nHow do you currently “stress test” your forecast?\n\n\nWhat deal behaviors or signals do you use to identify risk?\n\n\nWhere are your forecasts most often off?\n\n\nWhat coaching questions are managers asking that actually move deals forward?\n\n\nWhat part of your forecast process feels outdated or inaccurate?\n\n\n\nHow to Get the Most From This Forum\nThe Executive Forum is designed to be a collaborative, high-trust environment—where every member brings something to the conversation and leaves with new ideas, new questions, and new connections.\nHere’s how to prepare and participate:\nCome Ready to Share\nThis session centers on your experience, not a lecture. Please take a few minutes to reflect on the discussion prompts above in advance, and be ready to contribute your perspective.\nFull Participation Matters\nThis isn’t a passive webinar. To keep the conversation meaningful and interactive, we ask that members join with cameras on and mics unmuted. If you're not able to participate actively that day, we recommend skipping the session so others can fully engage in smaller groups.\nExpect Breakouts\nYou’ll have the opportunity to join small-group breakouts once or twice during the hour. These are designed for deeper discussion, sharper insights, and stronger peer connections.\nConnect Beyond the Zoom\nWe encourage you to trade contact info, connect on LinkedIn, and build real working relationships with the peers you meet here. This space is a jumping-off point for ongoing peer support.\nSend Us Your Hot Take\nHave a strong opinion or risky question on this month’s topic? Members will receive a series calendar invite for the year and can send their hot take or question for each month in advance. We’ll share as many as we can (anonymously unless you choose to claim it) to spark group discussion. Your perspective might be just what someone else needs to hear.\nImportant Note On Confidentiality\nEmblaze Executive Forum is:\n\n\nLive only – Never recorded, never transcribed. You have to be in the Zoom room to get the value.\n\n\nOff the record – No device recording permitted. Our facilitator will remove automatic recording devices out of respect for the group.\n\n\nNot a Member Yet?\nExecutive Forum is available to all current Emblaze members. If you’re not a member but want to join this session and others like it, learn more about membership here.
