Notes from running mystery demos for B2B SaaS companies. Pricing, sales tactics, product comparisons, messaging, battlecards, market entry. Written by the team that runs the demos.

SaaS win loss statistics: falling win rates, why the CRM loss reason is usually wrong, the price-vs-real-reason gap, and the win-loss programs that fix it.
Competitive intelligence statistics on CI program adoption, team size, budgets, and the desk-research gap the best programs close with primary research.
SaaS competitive displacement statistics: how often incumbents get replaced, what triggers the switch, and where the openings hide.
