• The most important thing about your bid is laying the ground-work with the customer and the relationship you develop.  Get with your customer, and ask lots of questions about the job.
• Put your ego to the side and don’t be afraid to ask a dumb question.  The best professionals are those who are confident in their need to know.  Most drawings are incomplete, so get over the fear of asking the question.  Customers are just like you, they are struggling each day to find business and to learn what they don’t know. 
• Walk the customer’s job site and get very familiar with the existing buildings and how they are being used.  See how the people are making use of the buildings and why the new building is being planned.
• Respect the customer’s time.  Just like you, they need to get on with other things.  Organize your questions and present them clearly and concisely, and let the customer know that you want to move efficiently through your session, in respect of their time.
