Setting Boundaries
🚫 Non-Negotiable Boundaries

- Pre-payment required before creating
- No refunds once work begins
Managing Custom Requests
- Listen to the full request: Don't commit immediately
- Quote based on requirements: Time, complexity, exclusivity
- Get payment first: Never start without payment
- Set realistic timeline: Underpromise, overdeliver
- Deliver with follow-up: Ask if they're happy, upsell future customs
Maximizing Custom Revenue

- Offer bundles: 3 customs for price of 2.5
- Upsell add-ons: Name use, extra length, special outfits
- Resell with permission: Ask if you can resell later (offer discount for yes)
