Stop sending "Dear Sir/Madam" proposals.
Clients can smell a copy-paste from a mile away.
Try this instead:
Read the job post. Actually read it.
Mention one specific thing from it (their stack, their problem, their goal)
Share one relevant project that proves you can do it
End with a simple question about their setup
Takes 3 extra minutes. Gets way more replies.
The client isn't hiring "a developer." They're hiring someone who understood their problem.
