Yes, you can navigate unrealistic client timelines effectively by: - Setting Clear Expectations: Be upfront about what’s feasible within the given timeframe. - Prioritize Tasks: Break down the project into key deliverables and focus on high-impact tasks. - Negotiate Deadlines: Discuss alternatives that balance quality and timelines. - Communicate Regularly: Keep clients informed on progress, potential delays, and challenges. - Offer Solutions: If timelines can’t be met, propose compromises, like partial deliveries or a phased approach. - Document Agreements: Ensure all discussions and revised timelines are in writing to prevent misunderstandings.

Antes de confirmar cualquier fecha con el cliente, es crucial concordar los plazos con todos los equipos involucrados. Esto asegura que no haya sorpresas ni expectativas inalcanzables. Todos deben estar alineados sobre lo que se puede entregar y en qué tiempo.

Bueno, bonito y barato o en lo que mi sector sería, liquido, rentable y seguro! Lo veo a diario, todos mis clientes tienen muy claro lo que quieren, quiero una herramienta que me de rentabilidad, que si quiero sacar el dinero pueda hacerlo y que además sea segura! Pues esto no existe!! Aquí empieza todo, hablemos de que podemos conseguir y que tiempo tenemos para trabajarlo. No voy a prometer cosas que no se puedan cumplir. Pongamos todas las cartas sobre la mesa y con estas realidades busquemos lo que mas te convenga. Si traslado al cliente dudas o dejo entre ver que se pueden cumplir cosas que no van a ser, solo me va a llevar a problemas.
