01Monday morning, your Signal lands. Five seconds to the one call worth making. 02One click opens the Brief, with the account list your rep works Tuesday. 03Next Monday tells you whether it worked.

The Monday Signal: a two-sentence summary that leads with the decision, then one recommended action with confidence labeled. — The Monday Signal (sample brewery). The decision leads. The detail is one click away.

Picture the depletion review most sales teams run. Everyone is looking at the same distributor report. A few chain accounts have gone quiet. Nobody is sure which ones are worth a call this week, or what to say when the distributor picks up.

The team agrees to dig in. Three weeks later, same report, same quiet accounts, and the summer lager that never got authorized has missed its window. Every week without the call is shelf space someone else takes.

That is the Monday this was built for. The depletion file you already get, read overnight, with the one call worth making already on top.

Walk through it live → 30 minutes. A real Monday Signal, end to end.

For the sales teams pulling ahead

Monthly depletion reports used to be enough. They're not anymore.

The breweries we work with are moving from a monthly depletion review to a Monday call sheet. The teams that get there first catch a chain account slipping while there is still time to call, and walk into the distributor meeting with the list already built.

The teams that don't find out at the quarterly review, when the shelf reset has already happened.

02 Owner See which chains are slipping before the quarterly review, not after.
03 Rep on the road A call sheet of exactly which stores to hit this week, biggest opportunity first.

What lands on top

One call, with the math already attached.

The Signal does not hand you a chart and wish you luck. It finds the one move worth making this week and sizes it. Here it caught a chain carrying two of your three core beers in every store, with the summer lager never authorized. Twelve stores, one distributor call, a little over forty thousand dollars a year if it lands.

And because you will have the distributor on the phone anyway, it bundles the next item onto the same call: confirm the account that quietly dropped a SKU at Vons. One call, two problems, both sized.

The decision banner: one chain account, the cores it carries, the SKU it is missing, sized in stores, cases, and dollars. — One recommended action, sized in stores, cases, and dollars, with confidence labeled honestly.

Down in the details

The hit list: every store missing the SKU, ranked by opportunity.
The call sheet your rep takes on the road Tuesday.
The roster: every account up for rebuy this week.

The part no dashboard does

Next Monday, it tells you whether the call worked.

A dashboard shows you today and forgets last week. The Signal does not. Every Monday it reopens last week's call and tells you how it held.

Here, last week's recommendation was the chain missing the summer lager. The team made the call. This week the Signal says it plainly: nine of the twelve stores ordered within the week, coverage jumped almost five points, the gap is no longer detected. Vons is still open, and a new gap at Whole Foods just became this week's call.

That is the whole rhythm. Monday hands you one move. The next Monday tells you if it landed, and what is next.

The follow-up ribbon: last week's recommended call, with this week's verdict on whether it held. — Week 2 checks week 1's work. The recommended call closed a twelve-store gap inside a week.
