I just published my first verified project on Contra! And I also hit a milestone: I reached the top 5% on Contra, and this first project was the piece that sealed it.
Top 5% and a verified project landing in the same post is a great milestone stack. What made this particular DOOH kit the one that sealed it, the scope of the deliverables or something about how the client relationship played out?
Hey Maty! In my opinion, my score went up from 99 to 130 when I sent the project to the client and received the partial payment; then I finished up, sent the invoice, and received the second payment; and finally, I created the verified project in my portfolio.
I was also a little surprised when Contra notified me that I was in the 5%. But it's been a long and patient road. I purchased the PRO plan in August of last year and applied to over 300 opportunities before I closed this project.
Congrats, Ernesto 🙌
Thanks a lot!😍
