I asked a client recently on his budget, citing that in previous proposals, he'd always tell me he wanted the cadillac but only had a hyundai budget! So I told him I'd like to know ahead of time so I don't waste time proposing things outside of his budget. Folks sometimes seem to think that if they say how much their max is, the estimate will be that regardless if it takes less to do the work. Any one else experience that kind of client? This guy is pretty good, as he knows I'm fair and don't cheat him, but nonetheless, I've seen some pretty nervous prospects in the past when this approach is taken. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
