    Next time, come to a verbal agreement with the client on the scope of work and at least a ballpark figure *before* you write the proposal. And when you create the proposal, present it to them in person, or over the phone if face-to-face isn't an option.

    I hardly ever write proposals anymore. We have verbal agreements, and then I write contracts. Saves time, strengthens the client's sense of value related to your work, and lets you avoid the proposal black hole altogether.
