Mentioning your rate in the first message can feel risky because you do not always know if the client has a budget in mind or how they will react to your number before they even know you well. But leaving it out can sometimes make the conversation longer before anything real gets decided. Some freelancers say stating your price early filters out the wrong clients quickly, while others prefer to build interest first before talking money. What is your approach when it comes to mentioning price in a first proposal, and has it changed based on what you have seen work?
