In my experience the hardest part of freelancing is the actual selling. Getting leads isn't difficult, nor is drawing up contracts. It's getting from "Hello" to a signed contract thats difficult and these guys (AFAICS) don't help with that.

If they did I'd certainly be interested!

gearoidoc, I agree with you, going from "hello to a signed contract" can be a timely process. What we have found is that by being selective with the freelancers that we represent, clients are confident that their finished product will meet or exceed their expectations. I am only representing 10 freelancers at this time so it allows me to develop a relationship with each web pro. When companies contact us for work, they know that we only represent the best, thus making the selling aspect easier.
