Six Sigma of winning web development projects in Home Based Business

Six Sigma is a strategic formulation of various cost cutting and performance enhancing measures intended to reduce cost, improve logistic methods, alleviate errors and mistakes and increase efficiency and productivity.

Most of you would have known that this concept was developed by Motorola. But here, the usage of the term by us means a mere creative usage of the name as we have formulated six key ways to ensure success as a Home Based Business Owner!

Listed below are six of the steps to ensure success in bagging web projects for your Home Based Businesses

1.Clients shortlist you by identifying your potentials

The moment you bid for a project, the client looks into your potentials and abilities to complete a project. He wants to be sure of your potentials in delivering what he wants. Even before he makes an approach, he wants to shortlist by going through the neatness of your application for the project. Neatness means everything from grammatical correctness to the flow of information and sheer communication on your application.

2.Your portfolios will speak for you

Portfolios are your best advocates and they can clearly state that you are capable of doing a job just like you have done in the past. A portfolio contains information of your past achievements and accomplishments, big or small, but suggestive of your expertise in the field.

3.Client might meet you to analyze your creativity

After going through your portfolio, he wants a further confirmation of your skills and abilities and calls you for a final face-to-face analysis. This is the golden goose of an opportunity and you can make the fullest use of it by verbally asserting your skills and talents and at times, you may have to showcase your talents in front of them.

4.Need to understand your client's business (not just how to build a website)

You may know how to build a website but you may also have to learn the nitty-gritty of how to make a website customizing to the needs of the client. Understand the client’s business priorities and make sure that your website enhances the client’s business (prospects). This is an additional bonus that retains your association with the client for long.

5.Do understand your client’s targets

This looks similar to the previous point but differs by highlighting the financial priorities of the client. Understand the target the client fixes on you and an assurance on delivery will help you secure the project right away.

6.Be clear with your final assessment of proposal and costs

Quote the right bid and be assertive and just on your cost. The client may proceed till this moment and may reject seeing a bad proposal. So the right quote of the costs and the rightly attractive proposal will help you secure any project!
