Winning is getting easier: management describes the effort needed to land each new piece of business visibly falling, wi
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2023 call → NOWe need to determine if management conveys that winning business has become easier than in the past, with real recent proof, and still in effect. The transcript is from Perion Network Q2 2023 earnings call. Management discusses growth, market share, diversification, etc. They mention outperforming industry, revenue growth, EBITDA growth. They talk about Retail Media, SORT, CTV, etc. But do they explicitly say that winning business is easier now than before? They talk about gaining market share, but that could be due to execution. They mention "our ability to capture shift in advertising budgets" and "diversification allows us to be flexible." They don't contrast past difficulty with present ease. They don't say sales cycles are shorter, or that customers are coming more easily. They talk about growth and market share gains, but not about reduced resistance. They mention "we continue to outperform" and "we are well-positioned to gain market share." That's not about ease of winning. They also mention "our technology has already won awards and hearts of retailers" but that's not a comparison to past. No mention of past difficulty. So answer NO.
