It’s too expensive

Charles – “If I spend too little time to fix some error / bug, I can’t charge 2000 euros. It’s too expensive.“

Joe – So would you rather spend MORE time to appear “busy” (and lie to your customer) than having them working again as fast as they can?

Charles – … 😶

There’s this misconception that more effort = better results. That more time = better work. That more = better.

And if you don’t comply with those conditions, you can’t charge “big” money.

That it’s not fair.

Be open to this idea: You don’t get to define what expensive / fair / just / proportionate / risky is in behalf of your customer.

It’s them who define that.

It’s your job to give them the right context to help them make the best-informed decision.

Help them.
