Pros should be allowed to see "projects rejected/approved by this client" before accepting job
I notice that after I've accepted a project, there are two lists below: 1) work recently approved by this client; and 2) work rejected by this client. This is not available until I've accepted the project, for which I'm sure there is a reason and I would love to hear it, but in the meantime:
This would be great to see PRIOR to accepting the project, for the following reason:
I have had many projects where the client wishes the tone of voice to be "casual, conversational, like a friend talking to a friend". I struggle with these, and I have been receiving more revisions/rejections on them than anything else. I have encountered this issue more and more the last few months. In order to keep my stats from spiraling out of control, I have opted to either decline the project or send VB mgrs a sample to forward to the client for approval to continue with the project. Being able to see these "approved/rejected" lists before committing to the project would help a great deal in my decision as to whether I'm a good fit, because the idea of "casual, conversational, etc" is subjective, and while I have been rejected more times than not, there have been a few incidents where my interpretation went over very well with the client. Seeing these lists would help me decide if their idea of casual, conversational aligns with mine.
