Project sales
I am not a salesperson. I am a highly seasoned and experienced specialist in my own field of expertise. Even though I work mostly on service and product development initiatives, these components of our working lives cannot be fully separated from the actual project sales. As a specialist, I assist our sales team in succeeding by internalizing probable client bids and producing realistic workload and timeframe estimates. In the end, my work as a designer and my sales output through conceptual visualizations may even be the single one thing setting our team apart from the other competitors.
Digital product bids are typically filled with value-driven propositions and extensive feature specifications. It is unusual, although not impossible, to discover a client-initiated offer without well specified aims.
My duty as a designer is to take these early ideas and immerse myself in the situational factors of the proposition at hand. What is the proposed project's goal, and who will benefit from it? How will this product fit into the current operational environment, and most importantly, how can I contribute to the development of these concepts into functioning services?
Client service bid documents with detailed and project specific initial requirements.
Taking these initial requirements at their face value, we must provide our future clients with feasible and realistic answers to specified feature expectations. Naturally, this effort is inextricably linked to the project's Service Design and feature specification phases. Nonetheless, as product development specialists, we must analyze given demands and build specialized solutions to meet them.
We may have existing solutions to stated requests, or we may need to allocate resources to address the issues during the design phase. Regardless, I need to calculate precise workload estimations in the light of which we will be able to accomplish our whole development cycle in.
It is rare to face a service bid where everything can be accounted for without further thought given for the matter. Usually we have to start solving our core challenges at the very beginning. To be able to come up with realistic offers and to serve our potential clients needs, we have to break our propositions down to possible feature solutions.

Naturally nothing we come up with at this point will be set in stone and can always be countered during the actual product design phase. What really counts is that we can demonstrate to our potential clients that we are capable of addressing given obstacles and demands, that we have properly understood provided need-based concepts, and that we can come up with realistic price tags that allow us to do our work in the best possible manner.
A collection of high-quality sales layouts is typically what distinguishes our offerings from the competitors. I work on these materials to demonstrate to our clients that we have the potential to execute provided brand themes in the desired manner, as well as to showcase my personal skills in UX/UI Design through practical project-specific interface solutions. These layouts, which take the shape of interactive prototypes and feature-rich visual presentations, are an excellent tool for communicating both our development team members' diverse skill sets and our dedication to the task at hand.

The shape and size of these sales-oriented layout materials have changed dramatically throughout the years. I've started proactively supplementing my prototypes with business-branded concept presentations to better communicate my design thinking and approaches behind the given solution.
A single image can convey more than a thousand words. Words combined with dynamic pictures can convey more than a million messages. Breaking down my solutions provides the customer with a clear understanding of my work and approaches, and has additional ability to showcase my ability to adapt to our clients product-specific demands and objectives.
I want to be comfortable with the people I work with. I also want others to feel comfortable working with me. After everything else is said and done, we will meet with our potential clients, preferably in person. We get to know each other as individuals and have the opportunity to discuss particular project-related questions from both parties.
It is my time to shine as a professional and demonstrate my area-specific competence once and for all. If and when our personal chemistries fit, there is nothing further to say. All that remains is to review project development schedules and common methods of communication, and then it's time to begin with the work at hand.
I play an integral role in your digital product development cycle and go through all of the necessary design stages on each and every project. Take a look at specific steps that particularly interest you, or go in deep and review all of my thoughts regarding the subject.
Having a solid foundation in a variety of concepts and design principles has allowed me to put my skills in good use.
