Write proposals that makes clients say yes

A practical workshop on how to create freelance proposals that help clients quickly understand the value of working with you.

During this session, Jenny Bjorklof from Freelancers in Belgium shares lessons from her own freelance experience, together with insights, examples and patterns gathered from the Freelancers in Belgium community.

We’ll look at:
• Real proposal examples from Jenny and other freelancers
• Common mistakes, dos & don’ts and small changes that can make a big difference
• Tips, hacks and structure ideas to make proposals more effective, feel more client-focused and easier to trust
• Legal and practical considerations freelancers often overlook
• The difference in making customised proposals vs. applying to a request for proposals

Participants are invited to bring their own proposals for feedback.
