Can I get insight on a boutique from an MD's perspective?

I'm curious how / why some boutique are swinging at the fences, winning deals, pitching chasing after deals and others act very slowly, close 1-2 transactions a year, claim "they don't pitch" when you interview with them, etc...

How do you filter out those slower banks from the ones who are swinging from the fences and growing? Not sure what my question is here, but I'm curious I guess on why some boutique banks aren't aggressive on their fee pool targeting
