RFPs are the way of the land like it or not, and no, asking all these questions often lead to the same result where a client simply says, do you want to bid or not /? and if of course i find out that we're recommended by the client/brand lets say, great, but big deal? they are not paying for our services and ultimately it's up to the owner group.... unfortunately it's managed by project managers and trying to get deeper understanding of the process just doesn't add up to much at all.. make sense? i hear you and it's very frustrating but not so easy anymore.... we normally would go thru this intro call/questions and information about the project etc.... and then tell them that before doing a proposal, we will look at it and assess the potential fee, and if acceptable then we will formulate a proposal.... they always say yes but the fact is that they are not making the decisions... so we can try to be a big shot for so long but reality for us is that the client has options and they don't care,,,,, so we have a choice yes....
