📣 Last week our team presented the new AI-based tool, Sardor AI, which aims to enhance the proposal generation process for freelancers and agencies on platforms like Upwork.

The presentation covered the following key points:

1️⃣ Sardor AI is designed to generate highly personalized and accurate proposals by understanding the context of the job posting and the user's profile. It leverages GPT-4 to understand context, ask relevant questions, and generate unique proposals.

2️⃣ GigRadar offers a two-tier pricing system: a flat-fee model (old one) and a usage-based model, where users pay per proposal. Users can choose to stay on their current flat-fee plan or switch to the usage-based model.

3️⃣ Sardor AI will be continuously improved to provide more accurate and faster results, with plans to supply it with more information about user accounts and profiles.

Overall, Sardor AI is designed to provide freelancers and agencies with a competitive edge by generating highly targeted and personalized proposals, helping them secure better job opportunities.

📝 Follow these simple steps:

1⃣ Go to Settings;
2⃣ Click on My Profile;
3⃣ Scroll down to the Testimonials section;
4⃣ Request a testimonial by entering your client's LinkedIn profile information.

🌟 Testimonials help you stand out and establish trust with potential clients. Plus, they're a great way to show off your skills and expertise. Remember, you can reach out to any former client, whether they're on Upwork or not. And, you can send up to 20 testimonial requests, so don't be afraid to ask for a few!

Check out these additional hints for obtaining testimonials quickly and easily:

⏺ Your client should have an email with a work domain, and the work domain should match the past job titles in their LinkedIn profile.

⏺ You can write the testimonial yourself and ask your client to paste it if they agree with your opinion.

So, get ready to add some shiny new medals of honor to your profile and show potential clients what you're made of!

🚀 Quick Tip for Agency Owners!

🤔 Got agency members with no JSS or Badges?
👥 Those members working exclusively for your agency?
🌟 Your agency's rockin' a 100% JSS, Rising Talent, Top Rated, or Top Rated Plus badge?

Time to spread the love and make them Top Rated* too! 😎
(*if your agency's TR, of course 😉)

Just switch their membership from non-exclusive to exclusive:

🔧 Agency Settings > Members and Permissions > John Doe > Edit > Agency Contractor > Exclusive

No wizardry here, just a cool Upwork feature that not everyone knows! 🧙‍♂️

Can't change the status to exclusive? Here's a quick troubleshooting guide:

🔸 Active Contracts: Check if there are any open but completed contracts. Maybe it's time to ask for that 5-star review? Active contracts block exclusivity.

🔸 Pending Offers & Invitations: If they're not under your agency, you'll need to withdraw or decline them.

🔸 Sent Proposals: Need to withdraw these too! If it's too time-consuming, contact Upwork support from the freelancer's profile and explain the "exclusivity" situation. They can withdraw all active proposals with a single click! 🖱️

Happy Upwork_ing! 🥳
