How to create a proposal that actually converts clients
From the blog
I’m maggie, the owner and designer behind viola hill studio.
When I first started my business 4 years ago, I felt so lost with the admin side of things. I knew I could create beautiful branding for my clients, I just didn’t know HOW to go about it.
I focused so much on the hustle of getting new clients that when it came to my process, I lacked confidence and stability. I found myself “hoping for the best” when ever I booked a new client.
Can you relate?
I’ve went through years of trial and error so you don’t have to!
I’ve created these resources to help you be seen as the creative expert and help build a solid foundation with your overall client process.
