Sales Representative, B2B / Analyse competitive positioning and win/loss patterns

Ask Claude to cluster win/loss reasons from closed-deal notes

Pull the closed-won / closed-lost deals from CRM with the reason codes and free-text notes. Paste them into Claude and ask for a themed breakdown: top competitive losses by competitor, top pricing objections, top product-gap themes, and one recommended action per theme. This gives product marketing something to chew on without burning a whole research cycle.
