Well, it is given that the more experience you have on your profile, the more chances that you will get that job. Clients prefer applicants with RELEVANT experience than newbies who have little to no experience. But this is not always the case. Portfolio can overpower experiences. Specially if you are into graphics design, blogging, technical writing and the like. As long as you can exhibit your output, go and compile them and attach them to your profile.

Express your sincere intention of getting that job post on your cover letter and letter of intent. Make sure that it is grammatically correct and professional looking. The clients need someone who is professional even if the work is photo editing or data mining.
On the interview, if the client requests for one, tell them how you really want that job and why they need to hire you in a professional manner. DON'T BEG.
Wear smart casual and answer their questions with confidence.
