  1. Developing a ‘template’ for bidding is also a good way to reduce any fear involved in deciding to bid for a position. I’ve always found it easier to hit send when I know I have included everything I need and have not forgotten something vital.

    Of course, an important point to remember when using a template is to personalize it. Just because some parts of the information we provide is identical does not mean it should read like a carbon copy bid on any and every job. Take your standard information and customize it on a per bid basis. :-)

    Thanks for the great run down on your own bidding template, Sharon!

  2. Customization is key, Rebecca. If your bid feels tired to you, then it may feel tired to the potential client. However, a template is great for getting those bids out quickly.

  3. Maybe not so tough to choose between custom bid and template … The template could consist of standard introduction and key paragraph headings … ?

    Thanks for a useful post.

  4. This is such useful advice. I take a similar approach. I always start my bids saying: I understand that you are looking for a writer to complete a batch of 20 articles on health and fitness… (or whatever). Clients seem to like it – it shows I was paying attention to their needs.
