Explanation

The mistake that the business analyst made when creating this story is that the persona is undefined. A persona is a fictional representation of an end user who has a specific role, goal, or need. A user story should specify the persona as part of its format: "As a [persona], I need [need], so I can [goal]". Specifying the persona can help the business analyst communicate who will use the feature and why it matters to them. The goal and the need are defined in this user story. The goal is to increase efficiencies and improve closure rates by better tailoring sales offerings. The need is visibility to customers' purchase history details. https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/modules/salesforce-business-analyst-certification- prep/user-stories https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/modules/salesforce-business-analyst-certification- prep/customer-discovery
