Client in Austin refused to sign the scope until I cut my rate, and I walked
Last Tuesday a client in Austin sat across from me and said my $2,400 quote was too high, so I cut it to $1,900 without asking why, and then he pushed for $1,500 on the spot. I packed up my laptop and left, and he called two days later asking if the $1,900 was still good, so I held firm and we signed. Do you give a little ground on price to keep the deal, or do you hold and risk losing the work?
