Client Boundary Setter
PROSet and enforce professional boundaries with clients. Get ready-to-send scripts for scope creep, late payments, weekend requests, and difficult conversations.
Example Usage
My biggest client keeps texting me on weekends asking for “quick” changes that always take 2-3 hours. Last Saturday they sent 5 messages about a logo revision that wasn’t even in the original scope. I don’t want to lose them — they pay well and on time — but I’m burning out. Can you help me write a message that sets a boundary about weekend work without damaging the relationship?
