Martin P. is an ex-Facebook engineer and the founder of Wolfware Labs, an iOS development boutique, and he is not new to Upwork. He had been on the platform for years — just never systematically. He bid when he had time, stopped when he was delivering, and the results were correspondingly thin. Eventually he stopped altogether and left the account dormant for a year.
So the account sat there — a Top Rated profile with real history behind it, earning exactly nothing, for twelve months. In April he decided to switch it back on and got in touch. The difference the second time was not effort; it was that the proposals stopped depending on him having a free afternoon.
We’ve gotten a ton of responses from clients saying how genuine the approach was, how much effort we put into our proposals. Lancer has been writing all of those proposals.
We were able to get a new client in the first two weeks.
A new client signed inside the first two weeks — which he had not expected from a tool that was new to the market. By the end of the first month the restarted account was carrying around $24,000 in monthly funnel value. What Martin kept hearing back from clients was not that his proposals were fast, but that they felt genuine, like real effort had gone into them. Lancer wrote every one of them, through his own Upwork account, so his profile and his portfolio stayed attached to each application.
We started using Lancer a month ago and so far it has been incredible. The tool was easy to set up and the team was great to work with.

The account did not need to be rebuilt. The reputation was already there — six years of it, Top Rated, with public earnings and reviews attached. It just needed something to send proposals on the days Martin was busy delivering, which was most of them.
We love you too, Martin ❤️
