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

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

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

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

5. Don’t you just HATE it
when your clients are asking
for endless changes???

7. good news -
YOU CAN SAVE
YOURSELF FROM IT!

9. Think about it…
Why do your clients want
endless changes?

10. Because most of them have
no clue about your work!

11. They’ve never hired a
freelancer before…

12. They’ve never built a
website before…

13. Or had someone create
branding for them…

14. So how are they supposed
to know what to ask from
you on the first place?

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

16. How could you avoid 90% of
change requests?

17. Check out what’s
missing before you start

19. Before you start the work go
over everything one more
time and think -

20. What’s Missing?

21. 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?

22. Now help them update
the requirements

23. You might even suggest them
new things - and
get yourself some more work!

24. Be their advisor

25. Teach them about your work,
teach them what works great for their
competitors, teach them why some things
are more important than others

26. Everyone loves learning new things
so by teaching them they will see
you as an advisor and will trust you

27. They will know you want
the best for them

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

29. Do they want changes after
the project has started?

30. 3
Quid pro quo

32. It’s cool to ask you for
changes

33. But it’s not cool to ask
it for free

34. So when they ask for
something new, reply with:

35. “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.”

36. Educate them that your
time is not theirs,
and that it’s not for free

37. 4
When life gives
you lemons…

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

40. I always come up with
“Phase 2”

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

42. In my proposal I Include everything
that will help their project be even
more amazing

43. And also the changes they
are now asking for

44. The client is happy and I get more work
Win-Win!
