Writing winning applications

What buyers respond to - and what gets ignored.

1 min readReviewed by the IC team

Three things separate winning applications from also-rans:

  1. Speed - reply within 4 hours. Trust Score, response-rate badge and buyer-side ranking all reward fast replies.
  2. Specificity - name a comparable past part, the cell/machine you'd run it on, and the QA process.
  3. Honesty on lead times - over-promising is the #1 reason buyers don't re-engage.
