Trial ends, deal not closed?
Trials expire mid-evaluation yearly. Deals die procedurally.
1. The problem
B2B trials expire mid-evaluation yearly killing near-closed deals. Procurement moves slower than trials. Champions lack internal ammo. Extensions never get offered. The hardest part is engaged-only detection simply. A blanket might extend freeloaders. That uncertainty makes it hard to save real deals.
“Trials die mid-evaluation yearly. I need engagement-scored extensions.”
2. What exists
Sales teams, support tickets and gut feelings extend trials, while deals die procedurally. Teams extend manually inconsistently. A feeling might misjudge engagement. There is little help with engagement-scored extensions plus value coaching for SaaS.
3. The solution
The solution could be a save-the-deal engine. It could score engagement before expiry. It could offer extensions selectively. Coaches could unblock value fast. The goal would be trials converted, not expired.
