Win Loss Case Studies
Why do they buy? Why don’t they buy? How can we get them to buy more? Common questions that often have unexpected answers. But once you have the answers, you can market with a level of precision that most companies never reach.
Thirdside discovered the real reasons customers were leaving
A client approached us to investigate customer churn when several large accounts unexpectedly canceled their subscriptions.
Not only did Thirdside find a previously unknown, yet common, and frustrating customer journey for these accounts, we also provided an early warning that several new customers were experiencing similar frustrations.
Following the study, the customer reported record-low customer churn.
Pricing Model
They thought were losing sales because of price.
But Thirdside uncovered that the problem wasn’t that the cost was too high.
Price often is the problem cited when companies lose out on a sale. But for a mobile development company the hurdle for prospective customers wasn’t that the cost to work with them was too expensive.
In closed-loss analyses, Thirdside found that the real issue was simply that the pricing model was too complicated. Potential customers simply couldn’t forecast what their cost would be in the second and third year of the contract, and that was a big turnoff.
The company shifted its model, and, several months later, pricing went from bring a common reason for a sales loss to a competitive differentiator in the marketplace. Customers are delighted with their new, clear, and predictable pricing model.
Sales Objections
An A.I. company had sales objections they didn’t know existed.
Win-Loss Analysis exposed the sales objection that was holding them back
You don’t sell in a vacuum. Your customer has an interdependent solution stack you are selling into. That was the lesson for an AI-solution firm learned after it approached Thirdside for Win-Loss Analysis.
By interviewing sales losses, Thirdside learned that the company spent too much time on the what and the why of their solution, but didn’t explain how it could be implemented in the prospect’s environment. Left with uncertainty, prospects simply chose not to buy.
With the blind spot revealed, the client added new sales enablement tools to compensate.
Unclear Messaging
Nobody could tell what the solution actually did.
Thirdside simplified messaging with wording the market understands.
Does this sound familiar? Messaging gets created via internal collaboration sessions. A boardroom table, stakeholders from company leadership, a whiteboard, and possibly even a facilitator are all involved. And the result? Myopic, undifferentiated, and highly ineffective messaging. By the time the words have expanded, contorted, and been wordsmithed to avoid excluding anyone’s interests or any outlying market opportunity, they mean nothing to anyone. And they probably include words like “strategic, synergy, efficiency, and agile.”
For one client, Thirdside tested the value proposition and differentiators along with the sales objections with current customers, former customers, and net new prospects. Then we developed a new website and content marketing program based on this market-validated messaging.
Here’s the reaction from the CEO:
“People are going to our website and telling me that, for the first time ever, they understand what our business does!”
