Overview

Rep-entered loss reasons skew toward price, so teams fix the wrong thing. This template analyses closed deals the way buyers describe them: the method and sample, win rate overall and against each rival, reasons won, reasons lost with no-decision kept separate, competitor patterns with a positioning map and a recommendation with options, a decision box and named owners.

The sample is a report for Orrindale Trading, a fictional B2B ordering platform, covering 46 deals from April 1 to September 30, 2026: a 33% win rate, speed and support as the top win reasons, and a $300,000 recommendation. Replace the sample description, win-rate figures and buyer quotes first, then list your recommendations with an owner and a due date.

Useful for

  • A quarterly win-loss review for sales and product marketing with buyer interviews behind it
  • A competitor deep dive that shows win rate by rival and what buyers said about each
  • A leadership decision paper that ranks options and asks the sponsor for a funding yes or no

What's included

  • Method page with a four-step process and a second flow from finding to action
  • Win rate page with a two-quarter chart by competitor, a buyer quote and discount note
  • Reasons won page with headline figures and three numbered reasons
  • Reasons lost article page with a pull quote and a separate no-decision section
  • Competitor table, positioning map and commentary, plus an options comparison page
  • Decision box with a sign-off question, three owned next steps and a Make it yours guide

Questions

How many deals do I need for a win-loss analysis?

Aim for 25 to 60 deals over two quarters and 12 to 20 buyer interviews. If you have fewer than 25, say so plainly and treat the findings as early signals.

Why separate no-decision from competitor losses?

No-decision has a different cause, such as no owner or no urgency. Counting it as a loss to a rival overstates competitor pressure and leads to the wrong fix.

Is Orrindale Trading real?

No. The organisation, the rival companies, the buyers quoted and every figure are fictional sample content. Replace them with your own deals and interviews before you share.
