Writing proposals that get replies

Answer the brief, not your CV

Your first two lines should show you read the job post: restate the goal in your own words and say how you would get there.

Show one relevant example

One piece of similar work, explained in a sentence, beats a long list of links.

Make the next step easy

Close with a clear plan and price, and one question that moves the conversation forward.

• –How you would split the work into milestones
• –When you could start and finish
• –Your price in naira

Send fewer, better proposals

Apply to the jobs you are a strong fit for, and tailor each proposal. A few thoughtful proposals do better than many copied ones.
