Description: Let’s be honest—RFPs suck. Weeks of drafting, chasing vendors, and reviewing proposals, only to end up where you started. But what if the game was rigged from the start?In this episode, Max Clark exposes why the RFP process is fundamentally broken, how preferred vendors secretly control the outcome, and why most companies waste weeks on a flawed system that rarely delivers the best solution.
