Not long ago wholesale air jordan womens , I put out an RFP (request for proposal) for a virtual assistant to take over technical responsibilities for my web site, shopping cart and autoresponder, so I can focus my efforts on several large projects and my private clients.
I received close to 20 offers, however, less than a handful made enough of an impact for me to request a personal interview.
Of those I chose not to pursue, it's not because they were incompetent or lacking in any way. I'm sure they are competent VA's with a great deal to offer. The problem was the way they were communicating to me ... the potential client.
You can rest assured no matter what business you're in, you will be competing with perhaps hundreds discount air jordan wholesale , if not, thousands of other businesses who are vying for your ideal client, and you need to separate yourself from the others by avoiding these five deadly mistakes.
1. Not understanding the prospect's needs, or worse yet, completely ignoring them!
My needs were clearly listed - web maintenance, shopping cart and autoresponder administration. One of the offers I received listed typing, transcription wholesale air jordan free shipping , scheduling appointments and making travel arrangements as the services provided.
No mention of providing the technical skills I required.
If you're submitting a quotation to provide a product or service, make sure you understand what the prospect needs, then tell that prospect how you can meet those needs.
If you merely provide a list of what you offer with no reference to what the prospect is looking for, she will think you either a) don't pay heed to what you're reading, or b) just don't care - and either one of them will put your proposal into the round file.
2. Not walking your talk.
One bid listed web maintenance and design as a service offered, however, the bidder didn't have a site of her own or offer any references or testimonials for sites she 'allegedly' maintains.
If you offer a particular service that can be verified wholesale air jordan authentic , provide testimonials, references and samples in your original bid so the potential client can corroborate them.
People are busy and if you don't give them what they want on first contact, they aren't going to take the time to contact you for more information when five, ten or fifty other proposals are giving them what they need.
