For any agency, large or small, winning new business is a tireless, ruthless and generally clueless process.
RFP’s are evil. How does one stand out if the response needs to be so buttoned-up and generic? Open pitches, even getting invited to pitch, happen so seldom that timeliness is never on one’s side.

So, offer that potential client what you offer any customer – a unique value proposition. Also, check out http://www.winwithoutpitching.com
