In our last post, we described your first move at evaluating prospective CAD services: sending them a message.<\/p>\n

Now we\u2019ll describe the second move: evaluating the responses.<\/p>\n

Here are the questions you need to ask about the responses along with how you should mark your answers:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Did the message arrive within one business day? Yes: 10; No: 0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Did the CAD service answer your questions pertinently? (sometimes their comprehension of English can be very poor). Rate on a scale of 1 to 10<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Are they using your CAD platform? Yes: 10; No: 0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Do they have experience in your particular specialization? Yes: 10; No: 0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. If yes, did they describe in some detail what they have done? Rate on a scale of 1 to 10<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Did they express clear interest in working for you? Rate on a scale of 1 to 10<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Did they tell you what to do next? Yes: 10; No: 0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now add up all the marks you just gave, divide by 70 and multiply by 100. In other words, express your above evaluation as a percentage. Let\u2019s call this percentage \u201cthe grade\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Arrange the grades in a highest-to-lowest order. The highest five scorers comprise your shortlist of prospective CAD services.<\/p>\n

    The next step is for you to dig deeper into the capabilities of each of them so that you can end up with a final list of three services.<\/p>\n

    Stay tuned for the next part in this training!<\/p>\n

    Enjoy your day,<\/p>\n
