Hey Hunters!
I'm happy to introduce - Prospero - writing Proposals like it's 2017.
Before I explain about the product, let me explain why we're doing it -
My name is Lior. I'm a co-founder at The nuSchool, where we help creative freelancers with the annoying tasks that hold them back from doing what they really want - the creative work.
We know that writing a winning proposal is a headache.
It’s also not why you chose to become a freelancer.
Prospero will make creating proposals fast and painless, so that you can go back to working on what matters most.
Because you're hunters and you're into Making Products - we've created a video to show you the story behind building Prospero:
Here's the demo for the product:
Join us for a live session where we explain how we designed and built Prospero:
Yours,
Lior Frenkel
CEO & Head of Fun @ The nuSchool
@hamutsi Pricing model is absolutely great, I will use and recommend the hell out of this tool. Although for freelancers who sell higher volume per month, I would recommend you have either a monthly fee option, or conversely a "maximum per month" model. Maybe "after your fifth accepted proposal each month, the rest are free..." kind of idea. But that is for people selling different daily or short term services.
After building my first proposal, I was blown away. Very thoughtful UI/UX, very intuitive workflow, and even very good default contract writing (the stuff we hate the most). I would love to see a place where other freelancers could share their best proposals with each other (leaving client details out) so we can glean from the best contract writing.
Everyone should use this, it's great.
I think this tool fills a gap in the market that designers will learn to love. $20 is a great price for a well crafted proposal that could win designers thousands of dollars in work. As someone who has contracted with lots of freelance designers, I can attest to the fact business would much rather work with strong designers that put in the effort early on.
This looks like a great tool, I've really like the don't pay unless you win pricing plan. I'd like to see a mobile interface either native iOS/Android or a web interface that's mobile friendly so I can create proposals on the go while I'm out. Oh also I didn't see anywhere if you support Chrome push notifications, it seems only emails when a proposal is viewed/paid. Chrome notifications would be nice, since my inbox already gets cluttered with notifications from other things.
@hamutsi I love anything that takes the pain away from "polish" when it comes to mundane tasks... No one has _really_ solved that for Resumes, even though 100+ companies try... However, this totally looks like something anyone can pick up and prepare a professional looking invoice/proposal.
As an ex-treasurer of a non-profit, I'd love to see "receipts" as a follow up for this, as my horrific Word-template was awful... Maybe something that keeps track of all receipts I send in a simple CVS that I can export to do my monthly, quarterly and yearly budget totals too... So many opportunities.
Good luck!
