Clients hire you based on your portfolio and work that you have done for previous clients. This allows them to have a reasonable expectation of the work that you can deliver.

I agree with pgo -- contracts protect BOTH parties. If your client hates your mockups, they should pay you for the time you have spent on the work and move on to someone else.

Some books for reference:

GAG Pricing & Ethical Guidelines

and

Graphic Designer's Guide to Estimating and Budgeting

and

Business and Legal Forms for Graphic Designers

hope that helps ...
