- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!

Sometimes the leadership does not even inform you on the status of a submitted proposal unless we win the work. I get why they are doing it but it would be great if there was an external source/website that would share this info instead of us waiting around to hear from them.

This winter just doesn’t freaking end. This is absolutely ridiculous. 🙄
