    Why You Really Lost That Deal - And What Your Buyer Isn’t Telling You

    You didn’t lose that deal because of price. You lost it for reasons your buyers won’t share with you... unless you ask them. In a climate where acquisition costs are up and win rates are under pressure, relying on assumptions doesn’t cut it. In this episode of the REV UP Rebellion podcast, Cian McLoughlin, founder of Trinity, global win/loss expert and author of Rebirth of the Salesman, shares what buyers really think after the deal is done. As an external advisor, Cian and his team have conducted thousands of post-decision interviews with senior buyers across some of the world’s largest B2B sales deals. They tell HIM what they won’t tell YOU: the real reasons behind their decision to buy, or walk away. And from those conversations, clear themes emerge, patterns that separate the businesses who win consistently from those who are left guessing. What we cover: The most common themes behind why businesses lose What separates the ones who win consistently How one business used a loss review to unlock $100 million in revenue Why your competitors are winning deals you thought were in the bag How AI is changing the way we understand wins and losses What today’s best sales leaders are doing to reduce cost of sale and lift conversion If you're a business leader, sales and GTM strategist, or revenue owner, make this your top listen this week.
