Confidential win-loss & churn research

Know why you really win, lose, and churn.

When a deal closes or an account leaves, Candorings interviews the buyers, champions, and users — neutrally, the way a great analyst would. Then it collates a segmented view of why you win, lose, and churn, and the revenue actions to take next.

AWho it’s for

Built for revenue leaders who need the real reason.

Any team that wins and loses deals — and wants the truth about why, straight from the buyers rather than the rep’s after-the-fact guess.

01

Losing to a competitor

Deals slipping to one rival

Hear, from the buyers themselves, where you really lose — price, fit, or the sales experience.

02

Rising churn

Accounts leaving faster

Find out why customers actually leave — onboarding, value, or support — before the next renewal.

03

Pricing pressure

Losing on price, or so you think

Test whether price is the real reason or the easy one buyers give when something else lost the deal.

04

A new challenger

An entrant is winning deals

Understand how a new competitor is beating you, deal by deal, in the buyers’ own words.

05

Win-loss done badly

Reps grading their own homework

Replace the after-the-fact internal guess with neutral interviews buyers will actually answer honestly.

06

Always-on program

Win-loss at scale

Run it continuously off your CRM, so every closed deal feeds the next quarter’s playbook.

BHow it works

A win-loss analyst, run as software.

Four steps from a closed deal to a segmented readout of why you win and lose — and what to do about it.

  1. 01

    Scope with an AI analyst

    Describe your product, your competitors, and where you think you’re losing. The AI proposes the topics worth probing — value, pricing, sales experience, churn drivers — and you shape what’s in and out.

  2. 02

    Preview & refine

    Run a test interview yourself, exactly as a buyer will experience it. Tweak which topics are explored until the guide is right.

  3. 03

    Reach the buyers

    Add your won, lost, and churned contacts — or connect your CRM. Each gets a private link to a short interview, scoped to what their deal lets them speak to, answered in their own words — typed or spoken.

  4. 04

    Read the readout. Act on it.

    Get a segmented view of why you win, lose, and churn — including what winners say that losers don’t — then a drafted set of revenue actions across pricing, sales, product, and retention, each traced to evidence.

The trust model

You see the pattern, never the person.

Candor only works if people trust it. Individual answers are never shown to you, not once. Results are aggregated into segments, and any cut too small to protect a person is suppressed or merged before it ever reaches your screen.

Anonymous responses
Names and emails are used only to send the invite, never joined to answers.
Minimum-N segment gate
Any segment below the threshold is suppressed or merged upward, so no one is identifiable by deduction.

DThe deliverable

Two things land on your desk.

Stage one

The readout

A prioritised, segmented view of why you win, lose, and churn — cut by outcome, competitor, and segment, with dissent preserved and your hypotheses tested against what buyers actually said. And it answers back: ask follow-up questions, grounded only in the guarded data — never an individual response.

Stage two

The revenue actions

A drafted set of moves across pricing, sales, product, and retention — sequenced into quick wins and structural moves, each tied to a finding and a success measure, informed by proven playbooks and grounded in your evidence.

One studio, four lenses

One way of listening — from your own people to the customers you win and lose.
