Hey Hamza,

I am not an expert but i can tell you what helped me to stand out in proposals in such a crowded market. Avoid using copy-paste or completely AI generated proposals and customize each one to align with the client's specific needs. You can generate a draft from AI and then customize it and always use simple and easy english to make it look like its a human written response.

A good proposal should include the following elements:

Introduction: Provide a brief introduction that highlights your relevant experience. For example, "I have worked on five AI projects, where I was responsible for [specific contributions]."

Relevant Experience and Contribution: Explain how your experience is relevant to the client's project. For example, "I have previously worked on a similar project where I [specific contributions]. This experience has equipped me with the skills to [how you can help their project]."

Services Offered: Clearly outline the services you will provide if awarded the job. For example, "If given this opportunity, I will [specific services you will provide]."

By following this structure, you'll make your proposals more engaging and relevant to each client's needs, increasing your chances of standing out and securing the job.

Best of luck!
