My 2c: Only take a job if you are 100% sure you can do it. Close a deal first. Deal is not closed until you have your contract signed. Get and stay in touch

My 2c: Only take a job if you are 100% sure you can do it. Close a deal first. Deal is not closed until you have your contract signed. Get and stay in touch with your champions/ decision-makers inside a company Set realistic roadmap and deadlines. Realistic = youthinkitwilltake x ±2 (imho) Keep communication strong and regular. Be a nice guy, not just soulless contractor who suck money. Work hard.
