Tips for Writing a Good Client Proposal

When it comes to writing a client proposal as a freelancer, the hosts suggest moving away from traditional proposals and embracing a more streamlined approach. Instead of sending detailed custom proposals, they recommend using a hidden webpage that lists all the necessary information about what the client can expect. This includes clearly outlining the deliverables, setting communication expectations, and highlighting what sets you apart from the competition. By templatizing the proposal and focusing on simplicity, freelancers can save time and avoid unnecessary complexities. Additionally, the hosts stress the importance of tailoring the proposal to the specific audience and industry, recognizing that different clients may have different expectations.
