How much pipeline should you realistically have by late January? My annual quota is 1.2M and I am sitting on about 2.5M after resets. Leadership says this is fine for Q1 but it feels light.

It's light if you get into the numbers. You'd have to have a great win rate for things to work out favorably. You should get ahead of things now so you're not staring down problems in April. First of all, get into the numbers and determine what's really viable. If something hasn't moved in two months, it's a zombie and needs to be moved aside. You may not have enough things in the works and you'll be hurting in the summer.
