So, do we just not respond to freelancers we've asked to pitch for work anymore unless it's with a "yes, please"? Rude. (Image taken from a blog post by Dee Primett / Wicked Creative who appears to be experiencing the same phenomenon: https://lnkd.in/eVxA5yc2)
It’s even worse when it’s someone who’s done it once before.
Yup. Or it gets to the proposal stage THEN they ghost you. Why is this normalised?
I've been more fortunate lately, but then I think that's because I've mostly been working repeatedly with the same clients. But on the whole, it does seem to be a problem across the whole industry. And a very rude one at that!
Yep! Rude.
Yes, rubbish and rude 🙄
They take your pitch ideas too!

4wNot sure this is a freelancer exclusive thing Matt unfortunately. We've experience a big increase in this behaviour and I'm hearing and reading it's become endemic as part of doing business for everyone in the sector. 😞
