Winning is getting easier: management describes the effort needed to land each new piece of business visibly falling, wi
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2023 call → NOWe need to determine if management conveys that winning business has become easier than in the past, with real recent wins, and that it's still in effect. The transcript shows management discussing growth, expansion, deposits, loans, but no explicit statement about winning business being easier than before. They mention "organic growth story", "pipeline remains solid", "we are pleased we have net deposit inflows", but no comparison to past difficulty. They talk about hiring and expansion, but not about reduced effort in winning customers. There's no mention of sales cycles shortening, win rates improving, or customers arriving already convinced. The closest is "our ability to grow deposit accounts supports our differentiated customer-centric model" but that's not a contrast. So answer NO.
