In this episode, I break down how a “good deal" destined for Closed Won, died quietly.
A warm referral, strong discovery, aligned stakeholders, all the usual signs were there, but subtle red flags kept stacking, which only really became clear after the deal was lost and reviewed.
This episode is a practical post-mortem on a live sales opportunity and why some deals are unwinnable no matter how good the salesperson is.
