Let's say your schedule is on the slow side and you find yourself willing to take on a project you may normally not have done, you have already priced it on the lower end of your pricing structure and they respond to your estimate email with this.
"P*** enjoyed meeting and chatting with S****. We're ready to go with the project if you can meet the other bid of $1200."
That would be taking at least 15% off for a new customer. On the estimate it outlines that the project would cost more if we ran into a very possible situation of having to perform multiple additional steps due to an unknown variable. Funny enough it was the wife that emailed back, but while there during the estimate the husband mentioned we came in less than another estimate they got while mentioning the guy didnt even have the right equipment to do it.
So what would you choose to do offer the discount and stick to a firm price or pass on the job?
