Business services: make proposals comparable

A business service becomes easier to assess when its scope, deliverables and departure conditions are explicit. The site can prepare a useful discussion without giving the illusion of a quote adapted to all situations.

These files describe preparation methods. They do not present customer achievements and do not replace the validation of information by the organization concerned.

All sectoral files

Describe the supported issue

Name the situations to which the service responds and those that come out of its scope. Give the necessary information to decide on a first exchange. One page per service must explain a different decision; A repetition of the same speech with several keywords does not facilitate comparison.

Make deliverables visible

Explain what is given, in what form and how the customer can use it. Distinguish between diagnosis, recommendation and implementation. An anonymized and authorized example can show the level of detail, but it should not be presented as a result obtained for all customers.

Clarify dependencies and limits

Specify the customer's expected contributions, necessary access and validation steps. A delay sometimes depends on external documents or decisions; Indicate this dependency. For an indicative budget, explain hypotheses and positions that may change.

Prepare for qualification contact

The form should make it possible to describe the situation, priorities and constraints without becoming a complete call for tenders. Check the recipient according to the chosen service. Confirmation announces the actual next step and does not promise an immediate technical response if an analysis is needed.

Link proof and perimeter

A case study distinguishes initial context, intervention and verified result. Specify what relates to the work done and what depends on other factors. Do not publish a percentage without period and method. When a reference is not published, prefer a clearly identified educational example.

Information to gather before writing

Situations covered and exclusions
Deliverables and validation criteria
Customer expected contributions
Time and budget assumptions
Authorized and contextualized evidence

For each item, keep the source, the person validating it and the language versions concerned. Missing information must become a question to solve, never a value invented to fill the page.

Frequently asked questions

publish a starting price?

It is useful if its assumptions and exclusions are understandable. An isolated price can make two different services artificially comparable.

Create case studies without a customer name?

Yes if the content is authorized and if the context makes it possible to understand the intervention. A pedagogical scenario must remain identified as such.

How many fields to qualify?

Ask for information that changes the orientation of the first exchange. Additional details can be collected next.
