Whether you are entering Upwork, trying to fix results that stalled, or growing past small projects — we tell you what to change and in what order
Three situations we work with most often
You sell your services elsewhere and want Upwork as a new channel. We help you set up the account or agency, pick a niche, position the offer and price it so your first proposals land.
You are on the platform but results stalled — low reply rates, thin pipeline, proposals that go nowhere. We review what you are doing today and show you where the pipeline leaks.
You get work, but it is small, cheap or inconsistent. We work on positioning, rates and portfolio so you move upmarket toward larger projects and longer retainers.
Everything that decides whether Upwork works for you
Which sub-niche you can realistically win, and how to say it so the right clients recognise themselves.
Profile, agency structure, team seats and everything Upwork looks at before it shows you to clients.
Where to sit in the market, when to raise rates, and how to package work so budgets stop being the objection.
Which jobs to go after, how many connects to spend and what a proposal has to say in the first three lines.
What happens after the reply: calls, follow-up cadence, and the handoff from conversation to signed contract.
Reply rate, win rate and JSS — what to track, what good looks like, and who on your team should own it.
From your first message to a plan you can act on
Send a short brief: where you are on Upwork today, what you sell and what you want the channel to do for you.
Before we talk, we look at your profile, proposals and results so the session starts with findings, not questions.
A 1:1 call where we go through the findings, answer your questions and agree on the priorities that matter most.
You leave with a concrete plan — what to change, in what order, and how to tell whether it is working.
Tell us where you are on Upwork today and we'll get back to you with the format, scope and price
Yes — that is one of the most common reasons companies come to us. We cover account and agency setup, niche selection, positioning, pricing and the first proposals, so you don't spend three months learning the platform the expensive way.
We audit what you are running today: profile, proposal copy, the jobs you bid on, your connect spend and your reply and win rates. Then we show you where the pipeline leaks and what to fix first.
Yes. A lot of the work with individual freelancers is about moving upmarket — sharper positioning, better rates, a portfolio that proves expertise, and a way out of small one-off gigs.
It depends on scope, since a launch plan for a new agency and a performance review for an established one are different pieces of work. Tell us your situation in the form and we'll come back with the format and the price before anything starts.
Consulting is advisory — you leave with a plan your team executes. If you would rather we run it, our Sales Growth service handles bidding and proposals end to end, and Manual Profile Optimization rebuilds your profile for you.
We read your brief, take a first look at your account and get back to you to agree on the format and schedule the session.
