It's harder to respond accurately to vauge job descriptions. I often ask specfic questions to clients about a job but rarely recieved responses. Is there a way to get better responses?

[Danny M]

The best ways I've found to get clients to answer your questions are:

a) Write a great proposal (yes you can still do this even if the job description is vague -- e.g. by giving the client a helpful tip about the type of work they need done)

b) Make your questions specific -- e.g. "Who is your target demographic?" rather than "Can you tell me about your business?"

c) Limit your questions, preferably to just 1. Clients are often looking for the path of least resistance and they might put off answering a list of questions.

Cheers,
Danny

Hello Danny,

Hope all is well with you. Today, I signed up for your mailing on the top hacks and received my first one. Also, I replied to the email per your request and introduced myself. If possible, may I know if a recording is available from the free webinar (last week)? My client really wants to know how to improve his proposals.

Thank you.

Hello Danny:

I appreciate all of your input for us freelancers - especially for beginners like myself.

Please let me know how to develop an attitude and technique of 'going out to get business'; just a thought I have.

What I mean is, how can we put our profiles / portfolios out there to attract business, and find business / work for us? How can we best position out portfolios with keywords, both strategically and tactically to actively find business for us by somehow more actively 'advertizing' our talents?

Basically, I am asking, how can we best create a profile that attracts business according to our terms?

Best Regards,

Emory B. Miles
