Creatives - Client revisions getting out of hand? Scope creep protection starts with contracts…

Endless revisions kill your profitability and morale. Clients often don’t understand the time involved in “small” changes.

How to deal with the problem:

    1. Crystal clear contracts: Outline # of revisions included, fees for additional work.
    2. Phased approvals: Get sign-off at each stage of the project (sketch, design, etc.)
    3. Learn to say no politely: Protect your time and be clear about what’s out of scope.

You deserve to be compensated fairly. Set boundaries at the start to avoid headaches later.
