AAs more service providers work remotely, some clients now ask specific questions during contract talks about availability, such as which hours someone can be reached or whether meetings must happen during the client's own office hours.
BAgreeing to be available at any hour just to win a contract can create problems later, especially when working across different time zones makes some requested meeting times genuinely difficult or exhausting to maintain long-term.
CA more sustainable approach is to propose a clear, specific window for live meetings and calls, while explaining that other communication, like emails or messages, will be answered within a stated number of hours.
DMost clients accept this kind of clear boundary once it is explained clearly, especially when paired with a reminder that a well-rested, focused provider delivers better work than one trying to be available at every possible hour.
