I have been a member for 15 months, and as yet have not achieved a forward.

I notice that more and more listings are requiring that only members with experience in the deal process submit their work. This restriction would block me from the majority of opportunities that fit my abilities.
Can someone (PLEASE?) offer a blueprint for a typical deal process? Actual figures are not necessary, but general advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

I would be so grateful to connect with seasoned members who are willing to share their experience!
Thanks for reaching out to a serious newbie!
