Your proposal is talking about you, not about the client’s problem. Clients don’t care about your full background — they care how fast you understand their need. How to Fix It: ✅ Start your proposal with their problem, not your introduction. Example: ❌ “Hi, I am an expert with 5 years of experience…” ✅ “I noticed you need someone to manage daily tasks and improve workflow efficiency…” ✅ Give a 1-sentence mini-solution to show you understand the project. ✅ Keep it short, clean, and easy to read. ✅ End with a question — it increases reply chances. 🧠 Pro Tip: Proposals that focus on the client get 3x more responses.

I’m an eCommerce consultant with experience managing projects and getting clients from different platforms. I’ve worked with various clients through an agency, and now I’m looking to take the next step grow further and start my own agency. I’m still learning the ins and outs of Upwork, and I’ve heard this community is super kind and helpful. I’d really appreciate any guidance, tips, or experiences you can share to help me achieve consistent client growth and financial freedom. Excited to learn from all of you and contribute wherever I can!
