Client: I think you need a business lesson. You have no idea how to establish prices. You already have a studio so you don’t need to add in this studio rate. It only takes a few seconds to snap a picture so you can do that on the same day you set up the lights and stuff, making your day rate and your production fee redundant. This usage fee is totally unnecessary. People just show pictures on the internet. There’s no need to charge for wear and tear like that. This unnecessary stuff wastes time you could use to be productive. If you worked efficiently you could do my whole website for a third of what you quoted.
Me: My fees are competitive. You’re welcome to get other quotes for comparison.
Client: No, I like you. We’ll just cut this quote in half and I’ll stick with you until you learn how to run a successful business.
