Win rate17% → 57%
A strategic acquisition team stops forecasting fiction
- The situation
- A regional super-region at a $2B global software company was closing 17% of what it committed. The pipeline looked healthy on the dashboard and missed anyway.
- What was broken
- Reviews ran on stories. 'They love it, they're frustrated with their vendor.' Plausible, impossible to challenge live, and gone three weeks later.
- What we did
- We installed evidence-based deal reviews. Every deal scored on the five movements · is there an outcome the buyer owns, a map they're editing, a number they'd defend. Facts or gaps, nothing in between.
- The result
- Inside a 90-day coaching cycle the team's win rate climbed from 17% to 57%. Same reps, same market · a pipeline they could finally trust.
