Find out why you lost deals last quarter
The real loss reasons from notes and e-mails, counted, with competitors, price gaps and fixes.
- You start it: When you start it
What it does
The task
Open Pipedrive and list the deals marked lost from start date to end date. For each deal, read the lost reason, the notes and the last 5 e-mails in Gmail. Write the real reason in a few words, the competitor when one is named, and the price gap when it is known. Put the deals in a new Google Sheet. Then write a summary of 10 lines or fewer: the top reasons with counts and amounts, and 3 changes that could win more deals.
- It works in Pipedrive, Gmail and Google Sheets, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
- It runs once, when you start it.
