Description

Would you like to know how your firm stacks up against other firms in terms of pipeline forecasts, win rates, and proposal volume?  Deltek has created an industry study that breaks down all the information for you.  In this episode, I talk with Megan Miller, CPSM about some of the amazing trends she's seeing in this year's business development report.
