Proposals = Waste of Time?
from Freelance to Founder · host Millo
Melissa is spending hours on custom proposals—and she knows something is off. The pricing second-guessing, the laborious back-and-forth, the sinking feeling that all those unbillable hours may not even convert. Preston and Austin dig into why the traditional proposal process might be the problem itself, and lay out smarter, faster alternatives that can actually win more work with less wasted time.
