What happens if you can’t define a scope of work on a call?

What happens if you can’t define a scope of work on a call?

Author: Jason Resnick April 20, 2018 Duration: 5:07
Firstly, there’s no moving forward with a proposal if you can’t nail down a scope of work right? Often times if you are in one of these conversations, you can tell within 10-15 mins of it that you are in one. It’s usually filled with meandering paths to loosely based goals. The best thing about these conversations is that they do lead to paid discoveries. These are lower risk, high reward engagements for you and your lead. How you ask and present this is the best way to get these types of freelance engagements.

Jason Resnick runs a web development and design business, and he’s heard all the questions that keep independent creators up at night. Twice a week, he opens up the inbox for Ask Rezzz, turning those real-world frustrations into practical, actionable advice. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a direct line to someone who's navigated the same tricky terrain. You'll hear Jason tackle the messy, everyday problems-like dealing with a perpetually late client, figuring out how to build a stable stream of recurring revenue, or shifting your practice to attract clients who truly value your work. The tone is straightforward and conversational, focusing on sustainable strategies over quick fixes. If you're building a creative business and find yourself feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this podcast offers a regular dose of clarity from someone who gets it. Each episode feels like a focused coaching session, designed to help you move past the hurdles and grow a business that respects your time and expertise.
