Say Hello to
your first clients 

... even with a small audience
… before creating a portfolio 
… and without a single testimonial!

If you’ve ever pitched a client and not won the work, chances are there’s something you’re missing. Most freelancers think it’s enough to just send over a nice-looking proposal, but it’s so much more than that. 

To get a client to say yes, your proposal needs to give context, presented in a way that speaks directly to what they care about most, making it almost impossible for them to say no.

If you’ve ever felt stuck writing high-value proposals or worried that clients won’t see your value, you’re not alone.

When Marielle started her freelance social media business, she was juggling three small clients, all paying around £500 a month. As much as she loved helping e-commerce and lifestyle brands grow on Instagram, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing.

Her business lacked structure, her processes felt clunky, and she dreaded sending out proposals. Each one took hours to piece together—an awkward mix of overthinking and guesswork that left her feeling less than confident.

Marielle is wearing a white t-shirt and smiling. Behind her is a white wall with a red heard painted on it.
“I felt like I was constantly winging it. My proposals didn’t look professional, and I didn’t feel like they showed the value of what I could do.”

Sound familiar? Marielle’s story mirrors what so many freelancers face when they’re trying to position themselves as serious professionals.

The Turning Point:

Everything changed when Marielle joined The Social Media Managers Toolkit. She didn’t just get a collection of resources—she found a framework for success. And the biggest game-changer? The proposal training & templates.

  • Instead of staring at a blank page and second-guessing herself, Marielle had a ready-made system she could tweak to suit each potential client.
  • With the polished design and professional structure, her proposals finally matched the quality of the work she delivered.
  • The social media proposal template let her clearly map out her ideas, deliverables, and timelines in a way that left no questions—just excitement to move forward.

Armed with the proposal template, Marielle sent out her first pitch within days. And it worked. She landed her first 4-figure client—a dream brand who is still her client four years later! 

That single proposal covered the cost of The Toolkit in her first month.

“Using that template gave me the confidence to pitch like a pro. It’s not just a document; it’s a reflection of how I’ve grown as a business owner.”

The Results:

Fast forward to today, Marielle’s business looks nothing like it did before.

  • She now works fewer hours while earning significantly more.
  • She’s confident pitching and winning clients who pay her more than £1,000 a month and stay long-term.
  • She adds another 4-figures to her income each month by selling stand-alone services.
  • She’s built a flexible business that fits around her life as a mum, including taking Fridays off and booking family holidays with the income from her stand-alone services.

Why the Proposal Template Works:

When you join The Social Media Managers Toolkit, you get access to the proposal training and template that helped Marielle land four-figure contracts and create a sustainable, profitable business.

And it’s not just a time-saver or a pretty document. It’s part of a complete system designed to teach you how to create proposals that don’t just look good—they work. 

Unlike random templates you might find online, this one is backed by detailed training that guides you through positioning your services, presenting your expertise, and addressing the needs of your ideal clients in a way that inspires confidence.

Because we know that with the right structure, positioning, and a professional proposal that speaks directly to what clients care about, you can stop chasing clients and start signing them!
