Sales Hiring Pipeline and Ramp Forecast Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A VP of sales plans to add eight reps by the third quarter, but offers slip, one candidate declines and new hires take five months to ramp. The quota for the territory sits uncovered and the number is missed. This agent keeps the plan honest. It compares open roles, candidate stages and ramp time with the quota plan, estimates the uncovered quota by month, and proposes fixes such as moving territory coverage, using contractors or shifting a start date. It reruns the forecast after each hire or loss. The VP approves any plan change. Edge case: a candidate is at the offer stage but unlikely to accept. The agent applies a lower probability and shows both views.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It weights each candidate by stage conversion rate and applies the ramp curve to expected start dates. Uncovered quota is plan quota minus expected productive capacity.

  • Offer stage counts at 70 percent unless data says otherwise
  • Ramp curve: 0 percent month 1, 25 percent month 2, 50 percent month 3, 100 percent month 6
  • Uncovered quota over 10 percent in a quarter needs a fix
  • Attrition applies the historical rate

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Stage conversion rates
  • Ramp curve by role
  • Accepted uncovered quota (default 10 percent)
  • Territories included
  • Forecast update frequency

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • VP approves plan changes, contractor use and any change to quota

Hard limits

  • Never contacts candidates
  • Does not make hiring decisions

It stops when

  • Done: forecast within the accepted gap
  • Stop: hiring freeze or budget change, ask the VP for new limits

An example run

What happensThe plan needs 12 productive reps by July but expects 9, leaving $1.4M in Q3 uncovered. The agent proposes moving two reps' accounts and using one contractor, which cuts the gap to $0.5M. A candidate declines in week 3. The agent reruns, the gap rises to $0.8M, and the VP approves an earlier start for another hire.
