Updated June 2026
The prompt
We lost the {{prospect_name}} deal. Here are the facts:

- Deal size: {{deal_size}}

- Stage lost at: {{lost_at_stage}}
- Last reason given: {{stated_reason}}
- Internal assessment: {{internal_assessment}}

Conduct a post-mortem: (1) What was the real reason we lost (not the polite one)? (2) At which point could we have done something differently? (3) What should we do differently with similar prospects in the future? (4) Extract 1-2 actionable changes to our process or pitch.
