Welcome back to Tales from the Pitch, the podcast where we mix humor, expertise, and a dash of procurement chaos! In this episode, Ben Klein kicks off the first Temperature Check of 2025 solo—well, not really. While Rachelle Ray braves the wilds of Houston for the SMPS conference (and, let’s be honest, probably disrupting the local weather in the process), Ben is joined by none other than the fantastic Christina Carter!
Christina, a powerhouse in the proposal world, shares insights from her time with major companies like Zendesk and Amazon Web Services, her experience running her own consultancy, and her role as part of the PIE Baker’s Dozen. The conversation covers proposal processes, bid libraries, and the realities of managing proposals across industries. Plus, Ben and Christina swap stories from their recent meet-up in London—complete with restaurant side-eye from a particularly unimpressed waiter.
Stick around for all the laughs, lessons, and of course, a classic Tale from the Pitch. Don’t miss it!
