Creating Your Profile as a Sales Writer
As a sales writer, you know how important it is to put your best foot forward. When a client decides whether to hire you or not, they want the correct information in front of them. Once accepted as a Scripted writer, you'll have an opportunity to start building your profile right away. Your headshot, bio, writing samples, and customer reviews will be visible to potential clients. To start getting freelance writing jobs in sales, simply apply for industry expertise. If you already have experience in sales writing and published samples to show for it, getting approved will be a piece of cake.
Building Relationships with Sales Clients
Once you've been accepted to Scripted and filled out your profile, the hard part is over. You'll be visible in the Scripted marketplace, and clients searching for sales writers may reach out to you. However, this doesn't mean you must wait to be found. You can begin building long-term relationships by pitching article ideas and picking up SmartMatch jobs right from your dashboard. Once you get your first few sales writing jobs, it's essential to knock it out of the park.
Writers build strong connections with clients when they:
- Exceed expectations and produce excellent work.
- Ask questions when needed and follow brand guidelines.
- Create content that drives results for the client.
- Meet your deadlines and communicate early if something comes up.
Many sales clients need regular articles, social posts, press releases, or other materials. Your industry expertise makes you a prime candidate for such projects. Once companies in your industry see that you are a true expert, they'll be happy to hire you again.

Pitching Sales Blog Ideas to Clients

In your pitch, you propose a word count, price, and general outline for how the blog will read.

Set Prices Your Knowledge and Experience Deserve
When you pitch an idea on Scripted, you get to set a price that you believe is fair to the client and your
experience. Clients can even send you an additional tip to reward you for excellent work.
Every project has a minimum price that ensures writers get paid a fair amount. You always control how much
you charge, but the minimum prevents writers from drastically undercutting each other for jobs.

source of income.
You can use Scripted to write as much or as little as you want. As a freelance writer, you control your schedule.
Quick Payments for Accepted Projects
Scripted partners with Stripe to get money in your bank account quickly. You can usually expect payments
to reach your account within three to five days after your client accepts the project, depending on your
Writer Tier.
Scripted's platform lets you track all of your projects and payments through a convenient dashboard.
Manage All of Your Clients From One Dashboard

-
Proposals – pitches that clients are still considering.
-
Writing – assignments with upcoming deadlines.
-
Editing – projects in the editing stage before they get sent to clients.
-
Ready for Review – jobs now in clients' hands ready for acceptance.
You can also use the Scripted dashboard to manage your Writer Portfolio, writing samples, payments, and job invitations.
