Demanding clients come with every job — and the hard part is saying no to extra work without damaging the relationship. In this episode you will learn 8 essential business English phrases for negotiating scope: scope, align, deliverable, trade-off, reframe, change order, timeline and goodwill. You will hear three real conversations: an agency kickoff call with a careful new client, a freelancer pushing back on a request for a free extra, and a founder and an agency lead landing a win-win scope deal. Each scene is explained phrase by phrase, then replayed so you can hear it again with the words you just learned. Here is today's question: a client demands extra work for free. Do you hold the line on scope, or give a little to keep them happy — and where do you draw the line?
