✅Precise DESIGN DELIVERABLES are your profit pro ✅Precise DESIGN DELIVERABLES are your profit protection when it comes to value based fee projects (aka flat fee). 

It’s critical that you put a number limiter in front of every deliverable, so your client cannot ask for more without a change order and additional fees. 

In fact, the crucial phrase that PROTECTS YOU FROM SCOPE CREEP ON FLAT FEES is, “additions and changes require a change order and additional fees.”💯

Notice it does not say “additional hours.”⏰When working with flat fees, you must eliminate any mention or reference to hourly to maintain fee integrity.
