It helps businesses understand the buyer's perspective, their experience, and the reasons behind their choices. By conducting interviews or surveys with buyers, companies can uncover valuable information about what influenced their decisions and what factors contributed to a win or loss. This feedback empowers organizations to make data-driven improvements to their sales strategies, product offerings, and customer experience.
