What Mombasa is known for, and what it means for your bid.
Mombasa is Kenya's main port and the centre of its coastal tourism. The freelance community is smaller than Nairobi's. A precise, specialised profile is the quickest way to get noticed from there.
Virtual assistance & customer support
What clients screen forReliability, overlap with their working hours and good written English. These clients are hiring for the long term, so they read a proposal for care and aren't looking for flair.
How we open the proposalSay which hours you cover in the client's time zone and name the tools from their brief that you already use. Then describe one process you ran from start to finish for a past client.
Writing & content
What clients screen forA sample on the client's subject, in their tone. Editors treat the first paragraph of your proposal as a writing test.
How we open the proposalWrite your opening the way the finished piece would read. Link one published sample on the same subject and confirm the word count, sources and turnaround.
Design & branding
What clients screen forA portfolio piece from the client's own industry. Design clients look before they read, so the wrong sample can lose you the job before your first sentence.
How we open the proposalAttach the one piece of past work that's closest. Describe the problem it solved and leave the tools out, then say how many concepts and revision rounds the price covers.
