Hey there, regular reader.
We’re looking for some help to test a theory.
Contractors, engineers, and estimating team members, you are all invited to participate.
HERE’S THE PROBLEM
Air Flow (and all reps, really) quote a lot of work, and half the time we never find out where it went.
It could be:
- The project never went ahead.
- All the products were purchased from a competitor, and we weren’t told.
- No one likes us because we suck.
- The project got delayed
- The low contractor redesigned it.
- We don’t know the winning contractor (residential company, out of state, etc.)
IS THIS TRUE?
If we suck, well, that’s that. Even so, as much as it might hurt my/our feelings, we’d still like to know where it all goes, even if it goes nowhere.
HOW CAN YOU HELP (and cash in)?
If YOU know where a job landed, or what happened to it, it’s worth something to Air Flow, and we’re willing to pay for it.
ALL PROJECTS?
No. This program only applies to projects that are:
- Bid through our estimating department.
- Publicly bid ‘Plan and Spec’ projects that we don’t already know the outcome.
- We don’t know the outcome.
WHAT’S IT CALLED?
Bid Bounty, part of Bid Hunter.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
You log into our customer portal. Most of you have an account already, and if you don’t, we’ll get you set up.
But, from there, you can see all the projects your company engineered or bid.
Find the project, notice the value, click on it.
If you know who secured the project, pick from the drop down.
If you know something that has become of the project (out for rebid, cancelled), we’ll need some supporting documentation. Typing ‘you’re a loser’ is not going to get you a reward. Just attach a supporting document.
CAN I GET AN AWARD FOR A PROJECT MY COMPANY WON?
Yep!
THEN WHAT?
We’ll check your work. If it all checks out, we’ll send you an electronic gift card in the amount shown when you picked the Bid Bounty.
HOW MUCH?
$30 in the first 45 days after the bid, $20 days 46-90, and $10 after that. Not enough to send your kid to college, but enough to be worth your time.
HOW MANY?
No limit. If you write in ‘Project Cancelled’ on 30 projects with no documentation, you’re gettin’ kicked out.
WHO CAN SCORE A BOUNTY?
You!
WHEN?
Now!
ANYTHING ELSE?
In case you didn’t know, you can track your projects, sign up for bids, and shop our E-commerce page from the portal as well.
WRAP
Thanks for reading this far. We look forward to sending you gift cards for participating in our Bid Bounty Program.
See you in class on the customer portal!
