New Research: The Product Marketer's Win-Loss Reality Check

Most companies recognize win-loss analysis as valuable, but here's what our latest study uncovered: the majority of product marketing leaders rate their programs as only "somewhat effective."

Why the disconnect? Organizations are relying on methods that consistently underdeliver, including CRM data pulls, sales-generated reports, and internal interviews that rarely capture the candid feedback needed for real improvement. The programs that succeed secure executive buy-in, run continuous processes, and most importantly, use neutral third parties to conduct customer interviews that unlock the honest win-loss insights you need.
