Why you keep getting "one more thing" requests
The One-Minute Marketing Mistake That Creates Scope Creep
Hey,
Client email from yesterday:
"The website looks great! Could we just add one more page? And maybe change the color scheme? Oh, and can we get a few more logo options?"
Sound familiar?
The Mistake:
Not defining what "done" looks like upfront.
Why It Creates Scope Creep:
Clients don't understand boundaries "Just one more thing" seems reasonable No clear end point established
The Fix:
In your proposal, add:
"Project includes: X, Y, Z. Additional requests will be quoted separately."
Then stick to it.
Takes one minute to add this language.
Saves hours of unpaid work later.
Talk soon, Laura
