High ticket projects which I define it as a project anywhere from $25K to $300K and everything in between require more sophistication in several areas to protect yourself as a business owner. High ticket projects are normally devlievered over the course of several months and for multi-six figure projects, those can extend beyond a year and even up to 3 years.

While the big project numbers I just shared likely sounds amazing, there are several things that make this type of business more complicated.

I have 5 watchouts to cover with you in this training episode.

1) Longer Sales Cycle

2) Pricing

3) Scope Creep

4) Project Management

5) Advance Cash Flow Techniques Required

This episode is an example of things that I help my clients with regularly and demonstrates how I teach and train.
