Etcetera 2022 Summer in Numbers

The summer has already passed. And even though many of us feel like it’s still the 24th of february, the life goes on. And the Etcetera team gathered this week for our traditional All-hands meeting. Etcetera 2022 summer was super productive, even though it’s the holiday season that’s usually rather quiet, we had a lot of work and billed even more hours that the previous quarter. The stats keep rising, but what the numbers can’t show - is that more and more of our clients become long-term partners who we work with for several years. We are extremely happy that our clients trust and rely on us over time!

Sales funnel and more

Thanks to our improved sales funnel, the vast majority of new clients come from bids. Around 15% of every bid we make leads to an interview, which is an incredible number! So, great job, sales team, keep up the good work. The other source of new contracts are invites on Upwork. And even though their numbers fell due to summer and war, their relevancy increased, so we still could close more clients than the in spring.

Almost all team members are fully loaded with work and have new clients and contracts waiting for them in line.

We welcomed 2 new team members and congratulated 10 freelancers who celebrated their birthdays in summer. Etcetera also had its 8th birthday in August. We’ve been rocking on Upwork for a long time now and it’s amazing how much we’ve done, and how great the team has become!

What Etcetera has accomplished over these 8 years:

Earned more than $2 million
Worked 64,367 hours
Had 1749 jobs
Keeps 99% job success score (that occasionally jumps even to 100%!).

We also talked about Upwork summer updates (see our previous posts for the most interesting ones). We wrapped up All-hands meeting by sharing some internal plans for Autumn and noting summer hard workers, who reached 401 hours during these 3 months!
