lost annually by agencies to scope creep

1. Define scope in writing, before you start

Every deliverable. Every timeline. Every price. If it is not in the proposal, it does not exist. Period.

2. Use change orders for new requests

"Happy to add that. It will take 3 extra hours. Want me to include it in the current invoice or keep it separate?"

3. Track every "quick thing"

Keep a spreadsheet. After a few months, you will see patterns. Some clients ask for small stuff constantly. That is useful data.

4. Set revision limits

Two rounds of revisions included. After that, each round is billed hourly. Put this in the proposal.

5. Send a one-page proposal

If they have to read five pages to understand what you are offering, they will negotiate everything. Keep it simple. Keep it clear.
