In this RFWIN teaser episode of Tales from the Pitch, Ben Klein and Rachelle Ray welcome two standout voices from the upcoming RFWIN conference: Donald Silwick and Jeremiah Williams.

Donald, a Sales Operations Manager at Jacobs, shares insights from his world of global defense proposals and federal pursuits, while Jeremiah, a proposal strategist at Schmidt Associates, discusses the power of structured strategy—making the case that even creatives can lead competitive, winning proposals. With a title inspired by Survivor, Jeremiah’s session promises real-world tools you can apply tomorrow to boost your win rate, get team buy-in, and lead with clarity.

From proposal horror stories to the hustle of managing win rates and influencing go/no-go decisions, this episode gives you a taste of the practical and passionate expertise coming to RFWIN this August.
