Once you have sent the proposal and cover letter to the Client, you may hear back within hours, if not minutes, so you must be prepared.
If your Client wants to know more about you, you should always try to accommodate them, even if this means you have to stay up late or get up early to fit in with the time differences! By communicating directly, you get a chance to know the Client’s expectations and can clarify the deliverables of the project and ask more questions if you have any, before accepting the job.
Be prepared – you should always do some homework by equipping yourself with information about the specific sector and the Client.
