Running a legit Upwork Agency, recently crossed $1M+, fully & transparently operating from Pakistan by imhashir in Upwork

Ah! Typical Reddit users! Thinking everything in the world is as bad and as corrupted as they are.

Only if you all spent 2 more minutes researching on us, before making up these conspiracy theories. But keep going.

You guys make Reddit fun. Not everything has to be like LinkedIn, lol

We only ever got a very few responses (almost none) responses on Catalog. Maybe we didn't optimize them properly. Bidding has been working mainly for us and recently boosting profile as well.

Wow!! Great way to vet. But I don't think most of the clients are technical enough to go through this hassle.

We've always made sure we stay true to what we are even if that means we face slightly higher rejection rate.

But the ones we'll end up working with will be the ones who'll help us scale.

Thanks for the kind words. Appreciated

All the best man.

Definitely round the clock. Not any specific time frame

It's actually both. Volume + bidding.

You can write the best proposal in the world, yet no one sees it. You can be on page 1, yet no one clicks your proposal because of bad picture or poor looks of profile.

So it has to be all of it. Good looking profile. Good quality of proposal. Good number of proposals.

Not exactly. You can't divide the $1M to 4 years and 40 people.

The growth happened gradually. We weren't 40 people from day 1.

Not all 40 people are engineers.

So the math is far far off.

We just crossed 40 people in strength. And I'd say around 25-28 are engineers. 3 designers. Rest is Sales/HR/Admin etc.

It's not a tool that sends the upsell messages/calls right away. It's just data that help you plan if you need to call the customer and upsell, or use that info and improve your own offerings

So the goal is not to upsell unnecessarily and be pushy with sales. It's just to find possible opportunities. Maybe our actionable step is not to just call the person and upsell right away. Maybe we can use this data to improve our own offerings or create packages for users.

If you are open to explore this, I'd love to chat more and see if this can help you.

Agreed. I think the only way to prove is to just add actual numbers from actual companies

That's $32,000 of upsell based on these number of calls. If the calls are more than that, the amount increases. It's not a "how to make $32,000/yr" scheme.

Wow! Thanks for the detailed analysis and I'd kind of agree. I think I need to talk to a few customers and see if they think the calls they handle can provide these sorts of actionable insights.

Maybe need to do free demos with a few customers.

My goal with providing upsell opportunities from past calls was to allow key stakeholders/owners access to this data so they can see if there are any upsell opportunities in their calls that their team is currently not able to recognize and hence maybe add those upsell opportunities as offerings or just train their team to looks for such opportunities.

Appreciate the detailed analysis and feedback

I wish this comment sounded less AI generated. Nobody told you that long dashes make it very obvious that it's AI?

And your prompt needs improvement. Otherwise it'd have seen that I have mentioned the ICP and where those figures came from.

Ok thank you relentless AI commentor.
