What you get
An honest loss analysis, a pattern check across recent losses, and the follow-up message to send.
What you need to hand
- The quote: what you bid, to whom, and over what period
- What the buyer said about why they did not place the order
- What happened at each stage from your side, with dates
- Your other recent losses, if you want the pattern check
How you might ask
Lost a $96k annual consumables contract at a machine builder after six weeks. The buyer said "we went with someone who could hold stock for us". I first quoted nine days after their RFQ. Debrief it and write the follow-up.
