Do You Hate Endless Client Requests? Here’s how to save yourself from them

“There’s one more thing I need you to do…”

“Can we add those last few things to the design before we publish?”

“I had a dream last night… We need to re-do everything!”

Don’t you just HATE it when your clients are asking

for endless changes???

good news - YOU CAN SAVE

YOURSELF FROM IT!

Think about it… Why do your clients want

endless changes?

Because most of them have no clue about your work!

They’ve never hired a freelancer before…

They’ve never built a website before…

Or had someone create branding for them…

So how are they supposed to know what to ask from

you on the first place?

By the time they figure out what’s missingyou are already done with your work and too tired/busy to do the changes

How could you avoid 90% of change requests?

Check out what’s missing before you start

1

Before you start the work go over everything one more

time and think -

What’s Missing?

What is that isn’t here?What can be done better?

What are the things that my client will eventually ask me to add/change?

What are the things other clients asked me to change in their projects?

Now help them update the requirements

You might even suggest them new things - and

get yourself some more work!

Be their advisor

2

Teach them about your work, teach them what works great for their

competitors, teach them why some things are more important than others

Everyone loves learning new things so by teaching them they will see

you as an advisor and will trust you

They will know you want the best for them

Teach them what is hard to do and what is not, so they know your time

is valuable

Do they want changes after the project has started?

Quid pro quo

It’s cool to ask you for changes

But it’s not cool to ask it for free

So when they ask for something new, reply with:

“Cool! I think that’s a great idea! Now let’s think together what we

give up on, so I can have the time to make that change for you.”

Educate them that your time is not theirs,

and that it’s not for free

When life gives you lemons…

When the project is almost over, if the client asks for more changes

I always come up with “Phase 2”

I suggest them to make a “Phase 2” for their project

In my proposal I Include everything that will help their project be even

more amazing

And also the changes they are now asking for

The client is happy and I get more workWin-Win!

We hope it helped you…
