Submitting proposals in behalf of an agency.

[5c6d48a5]

As a new agency owner, what are the steps to submit proposals and assign them to one of my freelancers?

Are there any examples of what a proposal like this would look like?

As the agency owner, do I also need to have my own freelancer account?

Hi Ryan,

When you submit a proposal on behalf of your agency members, you will have the option to select the freelancer's name. If the client decides to hire the agency member, they will need to send a contract to the freelancer. You might want to read the following resources for tips on writing your proposals:

Upwork is currently set up so you must create a freelancer account to create an agency. I can see that this account that you are using to post here in the community is a freelancer account.
