Short answer
Win/loss analysis is the study of why deals were won or lost, often through buyer interviews, surveys and CRM data. It reveals how buyers perceive a product, pricing, competitors and the sales experience. Findings are used to improve product roadmaps, messaging, positioning and sales execution, ideally gathered by a neutral party.
