You celebrated and moved on. You marketed Feature X — but they bought because of Feature Y you barely mentioned. Keep guessing, and you’ll pitch the wrong thing to the next 100 prospects.
→ Do you actually know why your last customer bought — in their words?
THE THREE BIGGEST MISTAKES
SKIP
You don’t do a won-sales analysis at all — you celebrate the close and move on, so the pattern is lost.
SHORTCUT
You assume you know why they bought, and keep pitching the wrong thing to the next 100 prospects.
STUMBLE
You run the analysis but skip the referral question, missing the 2–3 word phrase that becomes your moat.
DO THE WORK
Ask the 5 Post-Close Questions.
Analyze wins, not losses. Losses tell you what to avoid; wins tell you what to replicate — what triggered them, what made them choose you, and where to find more people just like them. After three wins, the answers become your repeatable sales playbook — the bridge from founder-led sales to scalable growth.
Wins > losses: losses tell you what to avoid; wins tell you what to replicate. After three, the pattern is your playbook.
“We marketed Feature X, but customers value Feature Y we barely mentioned.”
YOU’RE READY
