Step 1: Analyze Job Suitability

  • Load jobs in Test Mode and see which ones Lancer qualifies or filters out based on your Knowledge Base.

  • Example: Jobs requiring expertise you marked as “projects to avoid” (e.g., SEO audit when you don’t offer SEO) will be filtered out correctly.

  • Modify your Knowledge Base (e.g., add or remove services) and rerun tests to adjust qualification accuracy.

Step 2: Review Proposal Generation

  • For each qualified job, Test Mode shows the automatically generated cover letter based on your selected campaign template.

  • You can edit your cover letter template anytime and instantly see updated proposals in Test Mode.

Step 3: Test Question Handling

  • View automatic answers to client questions related to the job.

  • Add or modify specific question-answer templates to customize responses for common queries within your niche.


Recommended Workflow

  • On a wide screen, place the Knowledge Base panel on one side and the campaign feed on the other for easier comparison.

  • Review around 20–30 sample jobs thoroughly: both suitable and unsuitable.

  • Adjust your Knowledge Base profiles, “projects to avoid,” ICP, core services, and templates based on these reviews.

  • Iterate continuously until you’re confident the AI is filtering and responding properly.


Example Adjustments

  • If a formerly unsuitable job becomes suitable because you’ve added a new service (e.g., Amazon PPC), rerun the test to confirm it passes.

  • Refine proposal openings by personalizing greetings and calls to action — for instance, changing “Free for a quick chat this week?” to a more urgent phrase like “Are you available for a quick call right now?”

  • Modify question handling templates as needed to ensure quality and relevance in client communication.


When You’re Ready

  • Once satisfied with suitability and proposal quality in Test Mode, start your live campaign with confidence.
