Winning the Bids for 3D Projects
When clients seek your 3d modeling, animation, and/or rendering services, it is very important to submit a winning bid/proposal that is customized for them. Below find some tips that can help you submit winning proposals to your clients, which in turn will help you get repeat business.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR PROPOSAL – Your final bid or proposal should be customized for each client individually. Generic bids that don’t take into account your client and what they are trying to achieve will often not win you the 3d job.
Submitting the right price and delivery time is essential. However, personalization and attention to your client needs will make you stand out and win the job for you.
For example, to personalize a proposal for 3d modeling of human anatomy, you can highlight your credentials and experience modeling and/or customizing 3d models of human organs in the software or file formats the client requires. Also, you can state what attracts you to this job. The most important thing is to let your clients know that you are interested in helping them achieve their objective and show that you are interested in putting their needs first.

FIND THE RIGHT FEE FOR YOUR SERVICES – Provide a balanced price that will be low enough to attract your client, but high enough to satisfy your needs. Start off by putting a price on your time that is realistic and that is within the range that your client is willing to pay.
Remember, not every client will be looking for the lowest bid. However, don’t bid your projects too high as you can run the risk of pricing yourself out of the market.
Often, when bidding for 3d projects, you have to provide customers discounts that will compel them to use your services. One way to be able to provide your clients discounts is to use ready-made or stock 3d model collections, which cut down your time and production costs.
Before you go ahead and start calculating how much to charge, first you need to have a realistic idea of how long the job will take you.

GIVE A REALISTIC DELIVERY TIME – It is very important to know how long it will take you to complete the 3d project, without putting yourself under unnecessary pressure. Monitor your working schedule and save time by using ready-made or customized 3d models from a high quality 3d model marketplace like Flat Pyramid, whenever possible.
To be able to estimate time sucessfully, start by tracking the average time it takes you to complete a 3d model, including any additional rendering or changes. This will better help you estimate how long bigger jobs will take.
ASK FOR FEEDBACK – Asking for feedback regarding your proposal is essential when you don’t get the job. This is the only way you will truly improve and be prepared when the next request for proposal comes around.
Communicating with 3D Clients You Have Never Met
Today, it is common for 3D artists and clients to work with teams that are located across the country and even across the world. Below find tips to successfully communicate with team members you have never met in person.
PERSONALIZE YOUR COMMUNICATION TOOLS
Personalizing your communication tools will help clients and team members connect with you. For example, you can personalize your instant message profile with your professional looking picture, avatar, or a 3D model of you. This is also a great way to showcase your 3D modeling skills while bringing a personal touch to your instant messages.
REMEMBER, THE TELEPHONE IS STILL NECESSARY
The telephone is still essential to help convey nuances of information that could otherwise be lost in writing e-mail or instant messaging. Remember, every now and then give your clients and/or team members a call to discuss issues in real time without the web or email technology getting in the way.
KEEP YOUR BUSINESS E-MAILS PROFESSIONAL
We all have the tendency to be less formal when we are communicating by e-mail. Remember, when typing e-mails observe appropriate business etiquette, especially when you are dealing with corporate clients. Also, avoid using e-mails to discuss sticky or complex issues. Instead, try to discuss these kind of issues personally; so in your “virtual workspace” use the telephone or video conference.
USE NEW COMMUNICATION TOOLS TO CUT TIME & COSTS
Before web 2.0, only big corporations could afford communication tools such as teleconferencing, video conferencing, and virtual worlds with 3D content to communicate with their clients and 3D artists. Today, these tools are available to you at a low cost and some are even free. Take advantage of these tools and cut down your travel time and expenses, especially today with the high gas/petrol prices.
USE INSTANT MESSAGING TO KEEP COMMUNICATION ACTIVE
Use instant messaging to quickly check if someone is available or to ask quick questions that are not complex. Instant messaging can be the equivalent of walking by someone’s office to see if he/she is busy. People usually don’t feel they are bothering someone when they send an instant message and usually they will not take it personally if they don’t get a response back.
