Winning is getting easier: management describes the effort needed to land each new piece of business visibly falling, wi
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2022 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 about Regeneron's earnings call. We need to look for any statements about sales cycles, win rates, customer acquisition ease, etc., compared to their own past. Scanning the transcript: They discuss strong performance, growth, but do they say it's easier to win business now? They talk about EYLEA, Dupixent, Libtayo, etc. They mention competitive pressures, but not that winning is easier. They talk about launches and uptake, but not a contrast with past difficulty. They mention "early launch indicators are positive" for Libtayo, but that's not a comparison to past. They talk about Dupixent's growth, but not that it's easier to win customers. There's no explicit statement about reduced resistance, faster cycles, etc. The closest might be about EYLEA recovering from a temporary issue, but that's not about ease. They also mention "we believe we have substantially recovered" from a co-pay fund closure, but that's not about winning business being easier. No mention of win rates, conversion, or customers arriving already convinced. The call is mostly about financial results and pipeline updates. So answer NO.
