| Heh... I'm bidding a pretty good size job. I know I have competition, but I didn't know who it was. The customer just sent out a blanket email to all of us with some changes to the spec. Now I know who I'm up against. My campaign of psycholgical warfare commences immediately. Especially since he awarded phase I to me in this email. 1) Reply to all thanking the customer for award and knocking another 10% off the quoted price. 2) Call up competition posing as a potential customer. Describe very similar services and ask for a ball park price per instance. 3)Accidentally reply to all again tommorrow saying that due to the fact this a competitive bid, my distributer has promised that no one will get lower pricing. Period. Lower my labor rates by another couple of percentage points (but don't tell anyone what they are) 4) Find customers of my competitors and call asking for references. Be sure to dig up dirt and hold that in my hip pocket for future use if needed. 5) Boil their kids rabbits.....Just kidding. I am so completely amoral.... MWUHAHAHAHAHA |
