The 2026 RFP Analysis Report ✹ 5 Benchmarks That Predict Your Win Rate Before You Write a Word

This session presents the five benchmarks behind that result, the population number for each one, and the instrumentation a revenue operations team can put in place at the gate this quarter. Attendees can score their own five benchmarks against the study population during the session.

Simon Cuthbert, co-founder at Arthurian Labs and Christina Carter, founder of stargazy, presents the findings and takes questions live.

Who this is for:

  • Proposal directors and managers

  • pursuit professionals

  • capture leads

  • bid managers

  • sales enablement leaders

  • revenue operations teams who own or influence the bid/no-bid decision

Registration is free, and the recording is sent to everyone who registers.
