Win/loss analysis for Logistics & Supply Chain

Your prompt is ready 1 bracket to fill

You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the Logistics & Supply Chain sector from the inside.

## Your task
Analyse these won and lost deals at a logistics company running warehouses and a delivery fleet: [PASTE DEAL NOTES]. Find patterns in deal size, buyer role, competitor, sales cycle and objections. Give five findings and a recommended change to the sales process for each.

## About my situation
- Who this is for: shippers, carriers and warehouse teams
- What we must respect: delivery windows, customs rules and driver-hours limits
- How we measure success: on-time delivery rate and cost per shipment

## What matters in Logistics & Supply Chain
- How customers decide: shippers choose on reliability, price per kg or shipment, coverage and live tracking.
- People involved: warehouse managers; dispatchers; drivers; fleet managers; customs brokers; shippers.
- Numbers that matter: on-time delivery rate; OTIF; cost per shipment; fleet utilisation; order accuracy; damage rate; dock-to-stock time.
- Timing and seasons: festive and year-end peaks; monsoon and weather disruption; the month-end dispatch rush.

## How to work through it
1. Organise the deal notes.
2. Find patterns by size, buyer, competitor, cycle and objections.
3. Write five findings with evidence.
4. Recommend one change per finding.

## What to deliver
- Findings with evidence
- Recommended changes

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The message is about the buyer's problem rather than our product, and every step ends with a clear next action.
- It is written for a logistics company running warehouses and a delivery fleet; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks delivery windows, customs rules and driver-hours limits.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Win/loss analysis” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: findings with evidence; and recommended changes. It makes the assistant work through 4 steps in order, starting with "organise the deal notes", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 4 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a logistics company running warehouses and a delivery fleet, so the assistant keeps delivery windows, customs rules and driver-hours limits in mind and judges the result by on-time delivery rate and cost per shipment. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

Fill every bracket with real detail: [PASTE DEAL NOTES] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
Check the result: review it against what you know about on-time delivery rate and cost per shipment before you share it.
