How to Secure a $10K Opportunity on Upwork with Just One Proposal?

It's no secret that before rebranding as GigRadar, we were known as Scalifier, a powerhouse in lead generation services for Upwork and other freelancing platforms. Our approach to lead generation, particularly in customizing cover letters, was unyielding. To us, "customization" isn't merely finding a client's name in Upwork feedback or solving puzzles like "write a banana if you're not a bot.", thereafter composing cover letters with generic templates such as "We are the BEST company with 1312 developers onboard!!!11". This widespread tactic is shamelessly labeled as a "customized approach" by many agencies, but let's face it – it's pure BS. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Crafting tailored proposals for the software development sector from the perspective of SDR / Leadgen Manager, with no technical background, requires a blend of wizardry and diligent research.
