Your business model can make or break your business. Do you charge flat fees or by the hour? What exactly is your scope of work -- which speaks to your profit margin? How and when do you upsell? How often do you invoice and pay? These are all also terms that you should include in your contracts with your customers. If you have an unclear scope of work, for example, you risk undercharging. If related services are not clearly presented to your client, then you risk leaving money on the table. This is why your contract is your business strategy and not to be taken lightly.
