I'm new, trying to figure out what the process look like from interacting with clients to closing deal to fulfillment. Especially on the contract and payment part I'm confused on. - Submit proposal (Upwork) - If prospect message (Upwork), get them on a call (video conf platform e.g. Zoom, etc.) - Client sends contract (Upwork) / or I send out contract (outside of Upwork e.g. DocuSign) - 📑 Both parties signs contract - 🚚Delivery - 💰Profit Specifically want to understand if people stay in Upwork or go off upwork on contact signing and payment aspect. Appreciate anyone help demystifying! Thanks in advance 😄
