Structured Gig requirements are one of the best tools that are available for freelancers to work with.
The more detailed, straightforward, and organized the requirements are, the easier it will be for you to start working, and the better your work process and results will be.
Advantages of working with structured requirements
- Set expectations with your clients
Ask for all of the information ahead of time, the client will provide all the necessary details and material, and both you and the client will better understand what is expected out of the order and what the process will be like. - Avoid misunderstandings
Once the requirements have been submitted, you can review them and contact the client with any questions or clarifications you may have for them. - Save time
All information is given at once and ahead of time, saving both you and your client valuable time during the order that would have been spent on ongoing requests and questions, and lead to a delay in the delivery. - Create an organized and smooth work process—for both you and your client
Once you have all the needed information and aligned expectations, we recommend creating a detailed document that breaks down the order into specific tasks, timelines for each task, and regular updates on the task's status. - Create a great buying experience and increase client satisfaction.
Tips to help win over your clients
- Make sure to review the client's brief thoroughly.
- Thank them for their order and ask any follow-up questions if necessary.
- Explain what the first step will include.
For example: Create a storyboard, a mockup, or an initial sketch, and that any initial plan or draft will be sent to the client for review and approval. - After the client approves the plan, continue on with the order.
- Make sure to update the client regularly.
Tip: We recommend sending updates every 2-3 days on the progress of the order via the order chat.
