When a deal is lost, it’s tempting for sales teams to chalk it up to bad luck and move on. But savvy organizations use lost deals as an opportunity to gain strategic insights via post-mortem analysis.
The challenge is that valuable post-mortems require comprehensively reviewing every step of a deal journey. An arduous task for managers attempting manual call reviews.
This is where AI solutions excel. By efficiently analyzing all recorded calls and context for lost deals, AI equips sales leaders with clear insights to iteratively improve strategy over time.
Here are 3 ways AI powers impactful post-mortem analysis:
- Uncover the Root Causes of Losses
AI can detect subtle conversation patterns across an entire deal timeline to pinpoint exactly when and why deals go south. This root cause analysis provides actionable data for improvement.
- Identify Common Themes Across Lost Deals
Looking at losses in aggregate, AI reveals shared trends across deals, like consistent missteps at a certain sales stage. Managers gain macro-level insights to guide strategy shifts.
- Provide an Objective Perspective
AI has no bias or ego. Its data-based evaluations prevent post-mortem analyses from becoming blame games or pity parties. The focus stays on facts.
The Bottom Line
Post-mortem analyses powered by AI call and document analysis help sales teams continually adapt and improve rather than make the same mistakes repeatedly. Better strategy means more deals closed.
