Plus, be sure to include notes on everything they want, such as the duties they would like you to carry out, as well as their objectives, principles, and preferred methods of operation. Please do not hesitate to ask any necessary questions in order to ensure that all tasks are understood completely. Aside from that, clients are from different industries, so know what type of entrepreneurs you are working with to focus on their needs.
Set clear expectations #
It’s important to clarify what the client should expect from you. This includes your availability, your methods of communication, and the services you will provide. It’s also important to set expectations about what you need from them regarding communication, information, and feedback.
