Win-loss review analysis is one of the most difficult parts of the sales process. If you lost the deal, it feels like you're taking it upon yourself to rub your nose in your own defeat. If you won the deal, it's likely your sales team is at the bar tossing back a few drinks. You got the business -- who cares why? Now let’s drink. Maintaining a positive mindset is essential to being a successful seller, and probing into a recent failure is likely a one-way road to Depressionville.
