Utilizing the New You

I’ll get into the nuances and structure of crafting your project proposals in Chapter 6. What I want to discuss in the remainder of this chapter is how to use the new you so you stand out in the bidding process.

Part of winning jobs is writing great proposals, but another equally important part is how you behave as bidding is open and the client is considering who to hire. Here, too, you can stand out and I’ll show you how.

First, you must understand the client to the best of your ability. By researching their history with other contractors on Elance, and as you learn what type of feedback and comments they give, you begin to understand what they value. This homework provides excellent information.
