tomfmason Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Here recently I have had several clients low ball me and then when we agree on a price they try to add more work on top. This is really starting to make me angry. I used to just tell them that was not part of the deal and would wind up doing it anyways. Just today I kind of lost my cool after the client sent me a revised layout three times and each time I had just finished with the previous. The whole time none of this was part of the original agreement.I guess that is post more me venting then anything..lolAnyone else have this issue or have had this issue?Thanks,Tom Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25508-client-issues/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 so tell them to start paying your time or stop wasting it. you don't work for free. if they can't grasp that, then walk away.

ober Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Everything gets agreed to up front. If you're giving in and doing extra work for no extra compensation, or your agreement is so broad that it doesn't account for additional modifications, then shame on you.

However, my contracts are anything but broad. I am very precise in what I am going to do and the price for it. I guess I just get the used car salesman or something.. These past few clients have been slick..lolAnyways, I wound up going back over the contract with him and showing him were what he wanted was in no way a part of the original agreement and that I was going to charge him for the extra time. I was fair in my rate but he thought that was unreasonable so I canceled the contract.
