Why on earth is anyone talking about RFP’s and pitches any more? This practice needs to end.

Curious how common it is to ignore the request for the actual team that will work on the business. We’ve always honored the request, but Mirren’s POV is that’s a losing proposition

It’s a fine balance from my experience. I try to put a mix in the room if possible. And although I’ve learned a lot from Mirren, I also don’t think anyone on their staff has run New Business at a big shop before
