Re: How to Quote Projects
by Bruce Bennett on Aug 14, 2009 at 3:43:44 pm

[David See] "So, what this means is - they come to me with a budget: "this is all we want to pay for this job" and you either do it or quote so high that they choose not to do it...and risk losing future work."

You establish your rates based on what YOU need to make in order to stay in business. Even though you say your competitor is charging "too much" they are probably estimating based on this principle. If your fairly estimated price is seen as too high by the client, yes, you risk losing future work. If you play the game "How much money do you got and I'll do it for that" you won't be in businesses very long or you will be working 24x7 in order to stay in business.
