Getting Your Proposal Declined
Posted by KristiAug 31
Although my current marketing plan is 75% internet marketing and 25% freelancing, it still burns when I bid on a freelance or marketing project and the client declines my proposal. I just hate getting declined. Now, I don’t mind getting declined for being too high as I certainly don’t’ want to work with any cheap clients. But to be declined becaue the person doesn’t like my style, just stings. Ok, it really burns me up.
For once, I would like to write someone that declines my bid, I would really like to give them a piece of my mind. Here’s what I would say, “Hey, I just noticed that you declined me because you didn’t like my style. Well, I just wanted to let you know that you’re an idiot that doesn’t know a good thing when you see it. To be honest with you, I shouldn’t have even placed a proposal on your stupid project and if I had known what I know now, I wouldn’t have. Goodbye idiot and good luck finding someone with real talent and finesse to complete your dumb project.”
Yep, that is what I would write. But for now, I just have to chuck it up, dust myself off and hope that someone else likes my style.

I totally feel you on this. I used to feel bad when I get declined for certain projects I bid on, but now I’m like, “Hey, it’s your loss not mine!”

Lmao…maybe if you had written something like that on your proposal, they may have liked your style. Something like…
“Hello idiot, I would like to work for you but you don’t seem to have a clue what you want. Give me a yell back if you can slip your head out of your rectum for long enough to formulate a basic outline of your project that a person with an I.Q. above double figures can work with. Until then…bite me!”
Just a thought…
