Write a definition of what you deliver (scope statement)
Before you can deliver consistently, you have to be crystal clear on what you're actually delivering. A defined product or service sets expectations for you and the customer and stops scope creep.
Do this
- Write down exactly what's included in your core offer — and what's not.
- Define what 'done' looks like for a typical job.
- Put it in plain terms a customer would understand before they buy.
- Use that definition in your quotes so everyone agrees up front.

Put this on your quotes — clarity up front prevents disputes later.
