When you’re asked about rates and that with that (and your rates “being competitive”) you’ll move to the top of the line when procuring your expertise, you can reply something like this: “Thanks for asking about rates. We don’t work with predefined rate cards, as all you could get is an estimate based on assumed calculations of the rate, times X, Y, or Z. And you know estimates are just that, they could go up or down (they almost always go up). We do work, however, with fixed prices, as our pricing is tailored to the specifics of each engagement. This will give you total certainty of your level of investment, while protecting and improving your financials and forecasts. If this feels like it would be a good fit for you, feel free to reply and we could set a call to better understand what you’re after and how we could be of help.” Give it a try. 🙂 |
