Agency owners, do you still do free pitches?

We stopped doing them last year. Revenue dipped for about 4 months then recovered.

Recently just lost a $200k retainer to a competitor who spec'd out a full campaign for free. found out later they billed the client 30% higher than our quote to recover the pitch cost. client has since complained to me at event about their invoices.

Still think we made the right call but the 4 months were not fun lol
