What 2,000 Sales Calls Taught Us About Losing Deals We Should Have Won

Most lost deals don't lose to price or competition. They lose in small moments no pipeline report catches: the implication question never asked, the spouse conversation that derails, the holiday objection that stalls momentum, the tour that goes well but ends nowhere, the marketing promise the sales call doesn't deliver.

Allie Smith-Goodwin at SRG analyzed 2,000+ live and simulated sales calls to find those moments — five recurring gaps hiding inside deals her team felt confident about. This session shares what those gaps sound like in real conversations, and how seeing them reshaped her team's training, coaching, and marketing alignment.
