Ever sent a proposal, only to hear… nothing? You’re not alone. In today’s episode, we tackle the age-old freelancer problem of proposal ghosting. Is it your pricing? Your process? Your client selection? My special guest co-host Jamie Brindle and I break down two different approaches—one that involves a streamlined, high-conversion proposal system and one that cuts proposals out of the equation entirely. Whichever path you choose, this episode will help you land more clients with confidence.

WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT

• The biggest mistakes freelancers make when sending proposals

• How to structure a proposal that converts (hint: it’s not just about the price)

• Why your proposal process should start before you even send the document

• The power of presenting pricing live on the call instead of in a proposal

• How to prequalify clients so you stop wasting time on people who were never serious

• The secret to closing deals without second-guessing your rates

• Why deadlines, follow-ups, and video walkthroughs can make all the difference

• The one email you should send instead of a proposal if you know a client isn’t a fit
