You are going to face these while you negotiate with your clients. Unless and until you do some planning regarding the project, set the goals and the timelines regarding the tasks with your client you are not going to start. Otherwise, you will not be able to complete the work successfully.
It is always advisable before commencing with the job, take time in creating a task list with a flowchart and deciding the final goal and deadline. Of course, you need to communicate well with your client to create a solid foundation for the project. As a result of this, it is going to save you from lots of future confusion.

If your customer has any problems with that, listen to that and try to work on it if it is possible for you. If the changes in the budget are not feasible for you, then also say it politely by giving them the reasons behind it. This will help you to start the project with a fresh mind where there is no clash with the pricing with your client.
5) Be Transparent with No Hidden Clause:
You should not hide any clause or rules in front of your customers. Because of the hidden clause, it can create disappointment and confusion between you and your clients. So whatever norms and criteria are there, be prominent and disclose it to your clients.
Let me quote you few words from an expert. In an interview held by Sunday Times, Mr. Aervin Tan, the director of MediaOne Marketing (mediaonemarketing.com.sg), says,
“We usually do our best to help our clients – beyond what they have paid for. Our response time ranges from one to three working hours, and we maintain a good relationship with them. We are very transparent and committed to our existing clients. We share with our clients all our strategies with no gimmicks”.
You should follow the statements of experts; it can be beneficial in the long run.

You should not avoid your duty of being a good advisor for your clients. Always give positive advice to your customers whenever they are going to come with any queries or problems towards you. Before deciding anything for your client tries to place yourself in the position of your customer. And then wisely choose what could be the most suitable solution. Never give any wrong advice in the hope of getting more advantage out of it. Be trustful and loyal towards your clients.
