Comment on Why Your Customers Would Be Happier If You Charged MoreparentComments−danielweber13yFirst time I tried to get a consulting gig, it was a group of college or just-out-of-college kids trying to sell what we today call Incognito mode.IIRC I mentioned a price of $5000, and the eyes nearly bugged out of one guy's head. Clear sticker shock. They wanted to spend about $500.As the podcast is saying now, it was a very very good thing that I did not end up doing anything for them. People who want cheap are to be avoided.To date I have yet to successfully get a contract gig, but I have succeeded tremendously in not getting bad clients, and that's something good.
