Why do clients skip my proposal even when my skills are good?

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 achieved financial, time, and location freedom when I mastered Upwork.

I created this group to help other freelancers and agencies do the same.

Bring people together around your passion and get paid.
