Why Win/Loss Analysis Matters

At this stage, you’ve built your intelligence foundation and forward view. Now it’s time to connect the dots between deals and decisions. Stage 3: Win/Loss Analysis helps founders understand what truly drives conversions, stalls pipeline, or kills opportunities—so every deal sharpens your go-to-market strategy.

  • Reveal patterns in buyer behavior across won and lost deals
  • Pinpoint friction in pricing, messaging, or product perception
  • Arm sales and product teams with insight-backed actions

What’s Included in Stage 3

  • Deal Interview Program: Interviews with won/lost buyers and internal reps to capture raw decision data.
  • AI-Assisted Coding & Theme Detection: Classify outcomes across pricing, product, and positioning dimensions.
  • Competitor Impact Map: Measure how often specific rivals appear—and why they win.
  • Quarterly Insights Readout: Visual dashboard summarizing key win/loss ratios, deal sizes, and reasons.

Your Deliverables

  • 10-Deal Win/Loss Interview Set (Buyers + Sales Reps)
  • Win/Loss Analytics Dashboard (Sheets or Notion)
  • Executive Summary PDF + Action Plan
  • Sales Enablement Deck (Objection Handling + Competitive Edge)

Stage 3 transforms one-off feedback into a continuous improvement loop. You’ll know which value propositions resonate, which objections stall deals, and how to recalibrate your GTM to increase your win rate quarter over quarter.
