Excerpts:

• Publically exposing an outsourcing work relationship can confuse customers and damage a company’s reputation. That’s why many businesses use a nondisclosure agreement (NDA). (page 52)
• While these numbers are impressive, they ignore the high quality work from coders who are new to the site and who haven’t yet earned a reputation, ranking, or score. (page 74)
• If no resolution can be found, and a coder is found innocent of causing a delay, the guilty party (the buyer) has to surrender a percentage of escrowed funds and tolerate a tarnished reputation! (page 87)
• Ridiculously low priced bids generally come from amateurs with a questionable reputation, and outrageously high bids typically come from coders who simply don’t know the true value of their work. (page 212)
• This ranking system doesn’t necessarily indicate lower ranking coders are less favored or less responsible than the higher-ranking ones. There are plenty of newcomers suffering from low ranking positions simply because they haven’t yet earned a higher ranking reputation. (page 238)
• What’s worse is that you can’t extend the deadline because your boss expects that brochure by the deadline and suddenly your job and your reputation is on the line. (page 268)
• Attempting to resolve a problem outside arbitration is always best. It prevents bringing out the worst in people and it prevents project delays. It also protects reputations. (page 327)
• The most important point to understand is that breaching an outsourcing contract can be costly and damaging to your reputation. RentACoder charges buyers who breach a contract and reputable coders won’t trust and/or work with a buyer known for breaking deals! (page 364)
• It was only after a few curious buyers bothered to give us a try, we were able to create a reputation for ourselves. Today, we’re within the top 200 out of more than 260,000 coders that are just as talented as we are (if not more). (page 366)
• Anything can happen between the promise and the future. And when an unforeseen risk makes future work unavailable, buyers who make these promises develop an untrustworthy reputation. (page 374)
