What's included

• Start from the beginning

  Think about every prerequisite that needs to be hit before you can get started on the project. Ask your collaborator as many questions as necessary to get up to speed, and keep them informed of any roadblocks you foresee popping up.

• Set the acceptance requirements and deadlines for your listed deliverables. ⏳

  Work closely with the client to establish deadlines that meet the requirements of everyone involved. Things inevitably come up, and life happens. Bear this in mind when establishing acceptance requirements and deadlines.

• Create a process for deliverable approval. 💯

  Once a deliverable is ready for the client’s eyes, establishing a reliable method for sharing the deliverable is crucial. Some clients will already have a process in place, but if no such framework exists, the freelancer and client must agree on a delivery and approval process that fits everyone's needs.

• Visualize the end product. 🔍

  Every completed project has an end product! It’s important to start the project with a clear vision of what the deliverable will look like so you’ll know what you’re working toward and feel confident the client is on the same page.

• Measure the deliverables’ success. 🏆

  A client’s initial satisfaction with your deliverables is just one way to measure the project’s success. Ask the client for quantifiable data showing how your contributions impacted their business, whether it’s an increase in leads, page views, sales, or any other relevant metrics. This data can tell you more about how effective the deliverable was at helping the company achieve its project objectives so you can better understand what works and what areas may need improvement.
