PSA: Client who asks for 'small changes' before signing the contract

Had a guy ask for just two tiny revisions on the proposal. Said it would take me 5 minutes. Wanted a color swap and a font change. I did it. Then he asked for another revision. Then another. After the sixth one I told him we need to talk about scope. He ghosted. That was 3 weeks ago. Has anyone else had clients use this as a trick to get free work upfront?

'5 minutes' guy here. I got eight revisions deep before I learned my lesson too 😂

Man "learned his lesson" after 8 times? Sounds like a choice at that point lol

Haha @theacooper probably should've charged by the draft.
