Winning is getting easier: management describes the effort needed to land each new piece of business visibly falling, wi
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2024 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. Scan the transcript for relevant statements. Management discusses growth, market share, digital adoption, etc. But is there any explicit or implicit comparison that winning business is easier now than before? They mention "we continue to grow our customer base", "market shares remained strong", "we have been able to hold our market share" in payments, but that's about holding, not easier. They talk about "Impulso MyPeru" enabling growth in commercial banking with lower risk, but that's a government program providing guarantees, not a change in ease of winning business. They mention "synergies" and "flows" but not that it's easier to win customers. There is no statement like "it's easier now to win customers than before" or "sales cycles have shortened" or "customers are coming to us without effort". The closest might be about digital adoption, but that's about customer behavior, not about winning business. They also mention "we have been able to grow market share" but that's not necessarily easier; it could be due to strategy. The question asks specifically about a comparison against the company's own past, real recent proof, and still in effect. I don't see any such statement. Management talks about challenges, cautious approach, cost of risk, etc. They don't claim that winning business has become easier. Thus answer is NO.
