Sin duda la comunicación es clara, por lo que usar plataformas de gestión de proyectos y realizar minutas de las reuniones con el cliente esto permitirá tener claridad de los acuerdo, impactos en tiempo y recurso en caso de hacer cambios de se?al.

If you are relying on this client's goodwill, hoping for further work or reference, choose to undertake the additional work, ask for extra funding In case of power play by the client, be mindful,accept minor changes till the client sees the end result for the first time Craft a contract, outline the agreed work, rate for alterations, payment schedule, payment method Foster "Power of Persuasion" when the client needs big changes while making Empathy Statements," I completely understand your perspective......why don't we implement them in the next phase?" Explain cost and time estimates, break them into detail, allow the client to actually see the amount of work involved Non- feasible changes? Explain politely with confidence.

I schedule regular check-ins to align on updates and expectations, ensuring both parties are on the same page about priorities and direction.I maintain a detailed record of all project changes, including their rationale, timelines, and impact on deliverables. This serves as a reference point for accountability and transparency.Rather than rigid deadlines, I create adaptable goals that accommodate shifts while keeping the project moving forward.I proactively communicate how frequent changes might impact timelines, budgets, or overall outcomes, fostering a collaborative problem-solving mindset.Instead of seeing changes as setbacks, I treat them as opportunities to deliver more tailored solutions that align with the client’s evolving needs.

This is not something to be addressed during the process or post facto. This is something to be nailed at the get-go. It’s not about documenting changes but preventing needless ones. It’s not about being flexible or inflexible but about what’s right for the brief and the brand. Why do goalposts keep shifting? It is more about a lack of confidence, market pressures, other factors you may not know about. A client mindset should be examined like a consumer mindset. Analyse the root cause of the uncertainty. You will find a core insight that then helps you allay fears and reignite excitement. Show that you will take equal responsibility. The only reassurance a client really needs is that you will always bring your A-game and be a true partner.
