Stopped emailing proposals as PDFs and started sending live Figma links instead

I spent 6 months last year sending out polished PDF proposals for website projects and maybe getting a reply 1 out of 10 times. A buddy in Atlanta told me he just sends a live link to a simple Figma mockup that clients can click through. I tried it for my last 3 pitches and 2 of them turned into paying jobs within a week. What's your take on using interactive previews versus static documents for landing work?

Used to think PDFs looked more professional but you changed my mind on that.

@xena_hernandez98 same here actually. Used to think PDFs were the only way to go but you totally changed my view on that. Realized after reading your stuff that other formats can look just as clean.
