Welcome to the world of sales... Certifications, Diplomas, and credentials all go out the windows when it comes to sales.
In my experience, its all about value exchange, and your ability to convey value. Clients don't want to reveal how much they are willing to spend, its your job to find that out. To reverse that role, I do aportion of the work first, and then can ask for a reasonable copensation. The trades continue if I have conveyed my value enough to get paid.
