The customer intends to cut the budget. What are your tips?
Hello.
Actually, I will briefly sign the subject. There is a customer, there is a freelancer. A freelancer does just a huge amount of work, reports on what has been done to the customer. I act as an intermediary. Initially, the customer announced the project budget of $100k. In the last conversation, the budget was already $70k (I didn’t specify this point, because I was in a hurry, so I suggested moving the conversation to another day). The freelancer has been working on the project for over 3 months. From the words of the customer, I realized that he was not interested in splitting the project and large tasks into subtasks, therefore, in order to fit into the budget, he wants to cut the cost of labor. Work is paid hourly with tracking of completed tasks, freelancer screenshots, etc.
I understand that it is impossible to determine a clear budget for a large project, because it's impossible to foresee everything that might come up in the development process, but cutting back is another matter. He gently threatened that he was looking for another freelancer. Those. me in this case:
1. it is worth going for broke, because. I know that the client will need a lot of time to bring a new freelancer up to date, given that the development of the current freelancer took more than 1000 hours, it will cost him a lot.
2. waive your interest. in this case, the whole point of hiring is simply lost in terms of meager income.

He knew about it from the beginning.
You are talking about a hundred kilobucks and there is no contract?
It is logical that if there is less money, then there is less functionality.
As an option: get the left account / mail / phone and give him these contacts. (this will be a freelancer). And as a freelancer, try to refuse to work directly! Or continue to work under the guise of a freelancer according to the old scheme.
Didn't find what you were looking for?
