Be Descriptive: Each project contains unique project variables. Be sure to describe your project as well as possible so the Service Providers have a clear understanding of what you need done. Service Providers are not afraid of your project, but they are afraid of the unknown or things you failed to disclose that will affect their ability to give you great service value. There are 5 various forms (pictures, description, checkboxes, questions and answers) that you can describe all the important details of your project. Always remember - the more details you give the more savings you get.
Trust Your Instinct: Service Providers come in all shapes and sizes. Review their very best bid and look at their profile, many times a certain Service Provider will stand out and compel you to select them above all others for your project. When you find a Service Provider that you feel is a good fit don't wait around to hire them or another service customer might hire them instead.
Answer The Questions Please: When a service provider asks a question about your project - always be sure to answer it. Maintaining open communication and clear answers are a great way to build confidence for a Service Provider to bid lower.
Value Always Wins: All of the project bids displayed will be at or below your stated budget. If you are price sensitive the lowest bids will appeal to you. If however you are more performance driven the bids at top end of your max price may be a better fit for your project. Either way choose the Service Provider that you felt deserved to win your project.
It Only Takes One: Depending on your budget level, time of the year, project size, and a host of other variables the number of Service Providers that bid on your project can vary considerably. Remember all it takes is just one Service Provider that you like to get your project done.
