TL;DR

"Win loss analysis" came back at $64.29 CPC in DataForSEO keyword-volume data pulled for this piece - the highest-commercial-value term found in the entire pass. That's not a coincidence. Companies pay real money for the answer to why deals actually close or die, because most reps guess. gtm-skills' Account Executive pack covers the deal-stage work AI can't fake: the-win-loss-analyzer, the-renewal-tracker, and the-negotiation-coach close the gaps around win-loss pattern-mining, renewal risk, and negotiation prep that nothing in the pack touched before. Free, open source, judgment tools for closers.

"Win loss analysis" priced at $64.29 CPC in DataForSEO keyword-volume data pulled for this piece. That's the highest-commercial-value keyword found in the entire pass, and it's not close. Companies bid real money on that term because most sales orgs have a story about why they lose deals and no actual evidence behind it. The close-lost reason in the CRM is whatever the rep typed on their way to the next call.

That gap is the whole argument for what closers actually need from AI. Not another tool that drafts an email or summarizes a call. Judgment tools: something that ranks the real reasons deals close or die, scores whether an account is about to walk at renewal, and preps the specific concession ladder for one negotiation instead of a generic script. Content generation was never the bottleneck for an AE. Deal-stage judgment is.

TL;DR

  • gtm-skills' Account Executive pack covers 8 skills across the AE desk.
  • The 3 additions that closed real gaps: the-win-loss-analyzer (evidence-backed reasons deals close or die), the-renewal-tracker (renewal risk scoring from usage and relationship signals), and the-negotiation-coach (anchor, concession ladder, walk-away point for one deal).
  • Nothing in the pack touched renewals, negotiation, or win-loss pattern-mining before those three landed.
  • "Win loss analysis" came back at $64.29 CPC in DataForSEO keyword-volume data pulled for this piece, the highest-commercial-value term found in the whole pass.

The 8 skills, by deal stage

The pack covers every deal stage an AE actually touches: mid-deal scoring and objection prep, at-risk pipeline and renewal work, post-close win-loss, and the ongoing coaching layer that runs alongside all of it. Eight skills, mapped to the moment you'd actually open each one.

Deal stageSkillWhat it does
Mid-dealThe Deal GaugeHealth and intent scoring against MEDDIC/BANT
Mid-dealThe Objection PlaybookFive likely objections per persona, with responses
Mid-dealThe Negotiation CoachNew. Anchor, concession ladder, walk-away point for one deal

Post-closeThe Win-Loss AnalyzerNew. Ranks evidence-backed reasons deals close or die
OngoingThe Call CoachTalk ratio, BANT/MEDDIC scoring, and coaching notes from a transcript
OngoingThe Account BlueprintBuying committee mapping and a 90-day account plan

That's the overview. The breakdown below covers what each one actually does and when to reach for it.

Mid-deal

1. The Deal Gauge

Scores deals with dual health and intent analysis, trend tracking, and MEDDIC/BANT completeness. The honest version of the CRM stage field. Read the skill.

2. The Objection Playbook

Takes a product description, ICP, and target persona and returns the five most likely objections, each with a specific acknowledgment, response, and follow-up question. Built for onboarding a new rep or prepping before a cold call. Read the skill.

3. The Negotiation Coach

New. Preps one specific deal negotiation: an anchor point, a concession ladder in order, a walk-away point, and calibrated questions to ask before you give anything up. This is later and narrower than objection prep - it assumes the prospect already believes you, and the conversation left is about terms. Read the skill.

At-risk

4. The Pipeline Scanner

Analyzes pipeline health: deal velocity, stuck deals, risk signals, and forecast accuracy by stage. The weekly pipeline review that would otherwise take an hour of manual CRM digging. Read the skill.

5. The Renewal Tracker

New. Scores an existing account's renewal risk from usage and relationship signals together, then names the one action that matters most before the renewal date, not a list of ten things you won't get to. Built for the accounts that are quiet, not the ones already escalating. Read the skill.

Post-close

6. The Win-Loss Analyzer

New. Ranks the real, evidence-backed reasons deals close or die across a set of closed-won and closed-lost deals, and flags the factors that look predictive but aren't. This is the skill behind the $64.29 CPC keyword found in DataForSEO's data - the gap between what a CRM close-lost field says and what actually happened is where this one lives. Read the skill.

Blu Agent
"Win loss analysis" priced at $64.29 CPC, the highest-commercial-value keyword found in the whole DataForSEO pass for this piece. The reason: most CRM close-lost fields hold whatever reason a rep typed on the way to the next call, not what actually happened. The-win-loss-analyzer ranks the evidence-backed reasons instead of trusting that field.

Ongoing

7. The Call Coach

Pre-meeting prep and post-meeting coaching: talk ratio, BANT/MEDDIC scoring, objection tracking, and drills. Turns a transcript into an actual coaching note instead of a summary nobody reads. Read the skill.

8. The Account Blueprint

Builds account engagement plans: buying committee mapping, multi-threading assessment, and a 90-day action plan. For the accounts that need more than one call to close, or more than one deal to keep. Read the skill.

The order to build them in

Start with the-deal-gauge and the-objection-playbook. Those cover the bulk of an open pipeline. Once you have enough closed deals to compare, run the-win-loss-analyzer - it needs real evidence to rank against, so it's more useful after a quarter of closes than on day one. The-renewal-tracker and the-negotiation-coach come in as soon as you have accounts up for renewal or a deal actually at the terms stage. The-pipeline-scanner, the-call-coach, and the-account-blueprint run continuously alongside all of it.

What to never hand over

The actual price and the actual concession stay with a human. The-negotiation-coach preps the anchor and the ladder, it doesn't make the call on what you actually offer in the room. Same with the final commitment on a negotiation - these skills get you ready, they don't decide for you. Reading the room in a live conversation is still a human skill; use the-call-coach and the-negotiation-coach for prep and review, not as a stand-in for actually listening.

When you outgrow the manual version

Sell

Intempt's Meeting Notetaker agent runs this same judgment work continuously: it joins the call, produces the structured summary and next-step recommendation automatically, and keeps deal scores current against your live pipeline without you asking. Same eight jobs, running on every deal instead of the one you had time to paste in.

Frequently asked questions. Answered.

Win-loss analysis is the practice of ranking the real, evidence-backed reasons deals close or die, instead of trusting whatever reason got typed into the CRM close-lost field. It matters enough that "win loss analysis" priced at $64.29 CPC in DataForSEO keyword-volume data pulled for this piece, the highest-commercial-value term found across the entire pass. That price reflects real demand: most sales orgs have a hunch about why they lose deals and no actual evidence for it.
