“Hey Frankie & Steve! My question is: What do you do when a potential client who is very interested in using you isn't able to afford your quote? I've offered to try and condense the amount of work to fit their budget (i.e. prioritise what is most important) but they just simply can't afford what they want... BUT I really would like the work!! Without sounding desperate, do I offer an 'introductory' offer / discount to get them on board? or do I stand my ground with my prices and potentially lose a new client? HELP PLEASE! It's really tricky when you have bills to pay.”
In this episode, Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from ANONYMOUS.
