RE: UKNM: Wasting time on tenders

[James Tarin]

The market is certainly mature enough to pay for ideas alone. However, that

does not mean that every company running a pitch or ITT will be prepared to

pay for candidates to participate. 


Whether you are prepared to pitch without a fee all depends upon how much

you want the business. 


In some circumstances we may be more willing to pitch for a piece of

business that is offering no pitch fee than one that is offering one (all

depends upon the relative merits of the work). Although I must say that I

think that the fairest and most productive way to conduct a pitch is to

offer a fee (or to ask for one in our cases).
