You Charge How Much?! A Love Letter to Small Business Owners - E-Ssistant | |
Ah, pricing...the never-ending cycle of explaining, justifying, and occasionally biting your tongue when someone responds with, “I can get this cheaper elsewhere.”
If you run a business, you’ve probably been on both sides of this conversation. You know the feeling of putting together a thoughtful proposal, breaking down exactly what a client will receive, and then hearing this sentence:
"That’s out of my budget."
Or worse: "I know someone who will do it for half the price."
