Our proposal template library has examples within a wide range of industries, including design, marketing, web development, consulting, photography/videography, and more. You can also create templates within your own library of templates to prepare to pitch your next client in minutes. Don’t know where to start, or can’t find what you need, use the Wethos AI-Proposal Generator tool.

Send your first invoice

The most exciting part of winning new clients is getting paid quickly and easily. To stay on top of your business cash flow, you can create invoices directly from projects to make sure you get paid every dollar you’re owed.

You can build your invoice by referencing your proposal or adding custom line items to ensure you include all the work you’ve completed. You can include any business expenses you paid for, pass along payment processing fees or taxes, or include invoice discounts. Once you have everything included, you can send your invoice through the Wethos platform. Once it’s sent, you can sit back and relax, knowing your client can pay you directly through the invoice (as long as you have an approved Wethos Payment Account).

Once you’re onboarded to Wethos, feel free to check out our Perks page or People network to browse other profiles of potential collaborators for future projects. If you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out to our team at [email protected]
