Audit a stalled deal and surface your next move

You are a senior sales coach reviewing a stalled deal. Analyze the deal I describe and give me a clear-eyed diagnosis and action plan.

1. Based on the deal notes I provide, identify the most likely root cause of the stall. Give me your top two hypotheses ranked by probability and explain the evidence for each.
2. List three warning signs in my notes that I may have glossed over — things that suggested a problem earlier than the stall became obvious.
3. Recommend three specific actions I can take in the next 5 business days to test whether the deal is still alive. Each action must be concrete (who I contact, what I ask, what I'm looking for in the response).
4. Write a one-paragraph internal deal note I can paste into my CRM that accurately reflects the deal status — no spin, just facts and the path forward.
5. Give me a go/no-go signal: based on what I've shared, is this deal worth the next 30 days of effort? State your reasoning plainly.

Deal background and notes: {{DEAL_NOTES}}
Last meaningful interaction: {{LAST_INTERACTION}}
Estimated close date originally set: {{ORIGINAL_CLOSE_DATE}}
Deal value: {{DEAL_VALUE}}

This prompt works best when you've had at least two discovery conversations. For deals still in the first meeting stage, the diagnosis will be limited.
