How would you respond to this client?

How would you respond to a prospective client who says:

“Your quote is too high. You told me X hours to get the job done. Other freelancers have told me they could do the job in Y hours max.”

A member of our private Freedom Business Builder group responded along these lines:

“Yes, I imagine my quote is higher than other freelancers. That’s because I take the time to get the job done right and make sure everything is double-checked and polished before I consider it finished. I’ve also factored in time to allow for revisions. My priority is to get the job done right the first time, and to achieve that I’m never going to be the cheapest option.”

The result?

He ended up selling the client on a $2,000 web design project!

That price was a little lower than originally quoted, but still his biggest freelancing gig yet.

I’d call that a win.
