This one is a classic! Last month, one of my team members hunted down a NY based client and sent an introductory mail to him. The very following day he received a requirement email for some J2ME based project that he wanted to outsource and wanted us to bid for it. While conversing with with my teammate and looking at the email, I was sure that this one was not even worth the shot... :)
Here is a view of the email:
" Hi Sri,
Here is a requirement that I would like you to bid on:
a) ..... (Specifications)
b) .....
c) ......
Please send any questions on email only though I think the above information is what you would need. I will be available to speak once we agree on a good price"
If this looks familiar and you are laughing at it, well, so am I.. :)
Though money was definitely one of the main reasons why outsourcing came into being, but strictly if that is your utmost priority then you really do not need an outsourcing company... My suggestion - hire a freelancer!
Now the big question, WHAT MAKES ME SAY SO?
If you have dealt with government agencies or say, if you have ever bid on tenders this would be quite easy. Whenever a company bids on a government tender, there are always two stages:
1) Technical Bid
2) Price Bid
Technical bid would always precede a price bid just for the fact that quality always comes first. No matter how cheap my services are, if I do not have the right skill to develop your product (or service), I ain't worth a cent! Henceforth, if you first shortlist your outsourcing vendors on price, I will not be surprised if you would later say - 'Burnt my hands and not doing it anymore'.
