What LinkedIn won’t tell you
- “Bid more, win more” ignores pWin—every unwinnable RFP subsidizes your competitor’s incumbency.
- Generic chat tools don’t read Section L/M—they miss mandatory clauses you’ll lose on.
- Capture coaches sell story without a traceability matrix evaluators actually score.
