Why do so many freelancers spend months perfecting their portfolio instead of talking to potential clients?

[Btaliat]

Majority of the freelancers these days always want to perfect their profiles. They prefer having profiles that people will fall for. Those that are smarter always prefer talking to the potential. They convince them of what they can do. Sometimes, most clients will prefer being convinced with words of mouth rather than using their profiles to get them convinced. However, it is better to have the two. Both profiles and get them convinced can be done.
