Winning is getting easier: management describes the effort needed to land each new piece of business visibly falling, wi
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2022 call → NOWe need to determine if management conveys that it has recently become easier for the company to win business than it used to be, with real recent proof and still in effect. The transcript is about M&T Bank's Q2 2022 earnings call. The discussion focuses on financial results, acquisitions, interest rates, credit quality, capital, etc. There is no mention of winning business becoming easier. The call is about banking operations, not about sales cycles or customer acquisition ease. Management discusses loan growth, but attributes it to factors like the acquisition, not to easier winning. There is no comparison against the company's own past regarding ease of winning business. No mention of reduced resistance, faster approvals, or anything like that. The only mention of "winning" is not present. The transcript is entirely about financial performance, not about business development ease. Therefore, answer NO.
