Why is this relevant to Web Design and Website Pricing?

In our business, we provide quality services at a fair price.  In most development businesses, there can be adjustments to the final invoice due to the client’s desires.  It seems of late, with the economy the way it is, that businesses who approach companies in our line of work seem to think that it is standard for us to negotiate our rates.  Unfortunately, that is not the case.  Our business model is developed on an understanding of what it takes to be successful and profitable while at the same time providing good customer service and a quality product.

Remember to put yourself in the shoes of this Chef in the video, or the DVD Clerk, then ask yourself if you would ask them to lower their price. When the economy gets tough, people seem to ask for more discounts to save money, but are they really saving money?   Think about the question you ask before you ask it as you might actually offend the person to whom you are asking this question.
