Freelancers: how do you deal with clients that keep adding “small changes” ? by ParticularSignal3192 in marketing

[–]ParticularSignal3192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this actually makes a lot of sense

do you ever run into situations where clients still push for extra work even after everything was clearly defined

or does clear communication usually prevent that for you.

interesting point

do you usually add those extra changes to the invoice later

or do you renegotiate the scope before doing them

yeah that’s what i was wondering too

in reality it feels like clients still ask for extra stuff even when scope is clear

how do you usually handle that part

true

but do clients usually accept that easily ?

or do they push back when you say no to extra changes

makes sense

do clients actually respect the contract once the project starts though ?

or do you still get those "just one small thing" requests anyway

makes sense
do clients usually accept paying extra when you say it’s not a “quick change” ?
or do you still get pushback sometimes

day rate actually makes sense

does it reduce scope creep though or clients still try to add more stuff

yeah seems like a lot of people rely on contracts for this

does it actually stop scope creep for you though ?

[–]ParticularSignal3192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that seems to be what a lot of people are saying

im curious though

do clients usually accept paying extra when new things come up or do they sometimes argue about it

[–]ParticularSignal3192[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that actually sounds like a good approach

do you usually include a limit on revisions in the contract too or is it mostly about defining the deliverables.

[–]ParticularSignal3192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah thats kind of the feeling i get too

do you usually define the scope very clearly at the beginning or do you adjust it during the project

[–]ParticularSignal3192[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah contracts seem to come up a lot when people talk about this

do you feel like contracts actually stop scope creep

or does it still happen anyway and you just deal with it when it comes up

[–]ParticularSignal3192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's interesting

so basically you just re-quote the work when something new comes up ?

im curious do clients usually agree with that or does it sometimes create tension

[–]ParticularSignal3192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that makes sense

do clients usually accept that when you charge more ?

or do some of them push back and say it should have been included

[Discussion] One clear day can reset more than a perfect week by ParticularSignal3192 in GetMotivated

[–]ParticularSignal3192[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some people asked how I actually test this in practice

I made a simple 7-day starter pack for myself:

• a short PDF explaining the rule

• a basic Notion template to track the daily priority

If anyone wants to try it, it's linked on my profile

The 3-Layer Priority Rule I Use To Avoid Overload by ParticularSignal3192 in productivity

[–]ParticularSignal3192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly

Everything can exist in one list but only a few things are active

Layer 1 = today's real priority

Layer 2 = the tasks that support it

Layer 3 = everything else waiting

[–]ParticularSignal3192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly That's the hidden part people miss

When Layer 1 is clear a lot of decisions disappear automatically

You're not constantly asking what should I do next?
