The ink is barely dry on your consulting proposal when a client asks for changes. Stay agile and protect your interests with these strategies:
- Assess the impact: Evaluate how the changes will affect scope, timeline, and cost.
- Communicate effectively: Discuss potential trade-offs and set clear expectations.
- Be flexible, within reason: Accommodate reasonable requests but don't be afraid to negotiate terms for significant alterations.
How do you balance being accommodating and maintaining boundaries with clients?
In the world of consulting, changes are inevitable. Depending on the change and context you should be able to make an adjustment. Of course, bigger adjustments carry higher risks, costs, etc.
