Freelance work doesn't usually die from a bad proposal. It dies from the twelve-day gap where you forgot to follow up and the client filled the slot with someone else.
Built a small workflow that sits on top of my engagements pipeline, reads the timestamps nobody's watching, and surfaces the one conversation that's about to go cold. Not a blanket reminder. Something that knows which silence is actually dangerous.
