I've got 4 clients on retainer and every one of them has quietly expanded scope in the last 90 days. Small stuff at first — a quick call here, a one-off task there. Now I'm doing 30% more work for the same money and I'm the only one who seems to notice. Two ways I can play this: go back and renegotiate each contract, or just raise the price for new clients and let the existing ones ride. The second one feels easier but I know it's just kicking the can. What did you actually do when this hit?
Scope creep or firm boundaries — where do you actually draw the line?
Discussion
- Purpose
- Decide whether to renegotiate existing retainer scopes or reset pricing with new clients only, and hear what it cost people who picked either path.
