A Quest Owner opens their Quest and finds four offers. Three say "I can do it". The fourth says "I can come Saturday at 9. I have cleaned split ACs for three years and bring my own pump and cover. Rp 260.000 for both units." The fourth one answers every question before it is asked.
Read the whole Quest first
Look at the details, the photos and the questions others have asked under it. If something that changes the price is missing, ask a public question on the Quest page before you send an offer. A price based on a guess is the one you end up regretting.
Say when you can come
Name a day and a time inside the window the Quest Owner gave. "Saturday morning, from 9" is something they can say yes to. "Flexible" leaves the work to them.
Say why you, in one or two sentences
What have you done like this before? What do you bring? Stick to facts. "I fix taps most weeks and bring spare washers" says more than a paragraph about being hardworking and honest.
Set a price you are happy to work for
Your price is the whole price for the job as described: your time, your travel and anything you bring. Look at the budget, then at what the job really takes. A clear, fair price with a reason behind it is easier to say yes to than the lowest number. The smallest offer you can send is Rp 25.000.
Keep it on Questing
Leave your phone number and other contact details out of the offer. Once you are picked, a private chat opens with the Quest Owner, and that is where you settle the details.
After you send it
The Quest Owner may ask you a question under your offer: answer quickly and plainly. While your offer is waiting you can still change it or take it back. If someone else is picked, that is normal. Each Quest you finish adds to your track record and helps next time.
Before you send it
- A day and a time that fit the Quest.
- One or two sentences on why you.
- A price for the whole job.
- No phone number or links.
