In this blog you will learn how to be convincing.

Prepare seriously

Solid preparation pays off. Think carefully in advance about what information you will you communicate. After all, it is important to convince the client at KnowS. For example, ask yourself questions like these:

- What knowledge is required?
- What materials do I need?
- What price do I want to pay for the job?
- How much time do I need?
- Do I work on-site or off-site?

Successfully completed tasks speak for you

Why should the bidder entrust the job to you? What knowledge and what skills speak for you? You have already successfully completed a web design web design project? Great! Now you can share this practical experience with the client. Maybe you have already received a good rating at KnowS. Draw attention to it. The client will know that you have already worked successfully for the community of KnowS. Your offer creates trust.

Clear and concise communication

You may want to ask questions about the assignment. Pay close attention to how you write. Write politely, but as comprehensibly as possible. Do not "beat around the bush". Do not ask for information that is already in the ad in order to appear professional.

Essentials first

Box sentences seem cumbersome and the actual idea is often only communicated towards the end of the sentence. Therefore, get to the point immediately and write what is important at the beginning and in main sentences. Foreign words are difficult to understand. Which word expresses your thought appropriately?

Meaningful verbs

The modal verbs should, will, and must often have a demanding or forbidding, such as "You shall do something!" Such sentences are off-putting and the person giving the order feels pressured.

Use active sentences

In an active sentence, the focus is on the thing or person. For example,"You have been awarded the contract!" sounds addressee-oriented, comprehensible and precise.

When communicating, always be credible, concise and never pushy. If the client feels pressured, you risk not being awarded the contract.

You have the best chance if you convince the bidder to provide exactly the services you want.
