3 tips for a new outsourcer to get my attention Sep 21, 2018

1. Ask for my rate rather than stating a rate. Alternatively if a rate is stated, it should at least be in line with industry standards.
2. Have a good BB rating
3. Allow a reasonable delivery time

When an email arrives from an outsourcer, those are essentially the 3 first things I will look at. If they are met, then there's a good chance I will reply.
