Create a Win/Loss Interview Guide for Post-Deal Debrief

Generate a structured 20-25 minute interview template to capture decision criteria, competitive insight, and process

About this prompt

This prompt builds a full win/loss interview guide structured for a 20-25 minute conversation with a buyer, champion, or economic buyer after a deal closes or is lost. It's designed for AEs and sales managers who want consistent, actionable post-deal intelligence rather than informal impressions. Use it immediately after a deal outcome — won or lost — while the buyer's recollection is fresh.Most reps debrief after a deal informally and walk away with incomplete information. This prompt generates a structured interview guide with six timed sections: context setting, decision drivers, vendor performance assessment, competitive intelligence, process feedback, and a referral ask for won deals. Each section includes suggested follow-up probes to push past surface-level answers. Customize the guide by filling in [BUYER / CHAMPION / ECONOMIC BUYER] with the specific stakeholder you'll be interviewing — the questions are calibrated differently depending on whether you're talking to the technical evaluator or the final decision-maker. Fill in [COMPETITOR] with the specific vendor you were competing against to sharpen the competitive intelligence questions. Use this guide for both wins and losses; the 'referral ask' section at the end applies only to closed-won deals. For best results, send the guide sections as a brief pre-read to the contact a day before the call so they come prepared — it shortens the setup time and improves answer quality.
