Win-Loss and pipeline analysis solution for companies
About Topline Strategy
To answer these questions and more, Topline has developed a propriety methodology which we call Sales Chain Analysis. It is a more comprehensive approach to Win Loss Analysis. Our methodology seeks to gain a deep understanding of the market, the competitive dynamics in play, and most importantly, why decisions are made. Usually you are querying the account shortly after the decision is made and the account might not have had enough time yet to really know if they made the right decision. Decisions come in when they come in, and you never really gain a critical mass of information to process in a defined time period. You learn a tactical bit and then you move on. There is no guarantee of speaking with a diverse cross-section of prospects in this time period. Because you are directly related to the sales event, you enter the questioning with biases.

In today's competitive climate, the speed of conducting business is only limited by how fast one can think. What held true several months ago in your prospects' minds or the competitive landscape most likely is redefined. It's wise to take nothing for granted, even when it comes to the information provided by your sales force. They know the client, but do they really know what the client is thinking? Maybe, but if revenues are static, it might be time to start questioning the answers. A simple Win/Loss analysis could reveal some flaws in some of your most fundamental assumptions. The key to a successful Win/Loss engagement rests on the ability to dig deep. We conduct unbiased, one-on-one telephone interviews with all key decision-makers and influencers. It's essential to conduct the study during or at the conclusion of the sales process. This maximizes the accuracy of the information, while the sales process is still fresh in the prospect's mind.

Many companies conduct ad-hoc internal reviews of some of their bids, but a successful Win/Loss program is more comprehensive. Win/Loss analysis is an ongoing, systematic analysis of why a company’s deals are won and lost. The process is simple, but the results are powerful because they help decision-makers implement company-wide changes. Analysts conduct qualitative and quantitative interviews with decision-makers at prospect companies, for both won and lost deals. Our interview guides result in objective insights related to purchasing decision processes, solution capabilities and features, sales team effectiveness, pricing, and contracting. We regularly provide clients with individual reports for each deal so they can understand the nuances of each individual case. In the end, we deliver a summary report that analyzes trends across multiple deals over time. The aggregation of several deals over time lets us deliver recommendations about value proposition, product features, etc.
