Autopsy report

Acme Corp · $84K ARR · Lost at procurement

Moment of death

Call 3 · 28:14

"We just need to loop in our procurement team to run a quick comparison — should be a formality."

The buyer handed control of the close to a third party who had no relationship with you and a built-in incentive to find a cheaper option. Your champion stopped driving from this point forward.

Stated objection

Procurement needs to benchmark pricing against two other vendors before signing.

Real objection

The economic buyer never bought into the urgency. Without a forcing function (deadline, business event, or risk of inaction), procurement became a polite way to defer the decision indefinitely.

Your rep's mistake

Accepted the procurement detour without re-anchoring on cost of inaction

"Totally understand — happy to send over whatever they need. Just let me know the timeline."

By agreeing without friction, your rep signaled the deal wasn't time-sensitive on your side either. The buyer's perceived risk of waiting dropped to zero. From here, the deal had no internal momentum.

What should have been said

"Happy to support procurement — quick question first: what's the business cost if this slips past Q2? I want to make sure we're solving the right problem on the right timeline, otherwise procurement becomes a comparison exercise instead of a decision."

It re-centers the conversation on the buyer's pain, forces them to articulate urgency in their own words, and reframes procurement as a step inside a decision — not the decision itself.
