Hey Rob we would really like your team to rebuild our website.
Me: Great!
Them: But we got a super cheap price from another company.
Me: Okay then go with them.
Them: But we want your team.
Me: So do you want cheap or do you want me and my team?
Them: Well can you lower your price?
Me: No!
Them: Well I would like to share their price with you and what they are offering.
{price is 60% less and missing half of what we included}
Me: Their price and service doesn’t even compare with what we are offering.
Them: But we need a lower price.
Me: Then go with the other company.
Them: But we would like your team.
Me: This is a circular conversation.
Them: A what?
Me: We are going round and round and you’re not hearing what I’m saying.
Them: Yes I am, we just need a lower price.
Me: Think of my price as the more value centric price when you factor in all the extra stuff we are giving you that the other company isn’t.
Them: Why didn’t you say that before?
{Me totally ignoring his question}
Me: Let me know if you need anything else.
Them: Will get back to you in an hour.
{15 minutes later}
Them: Hey Rob, my team still wants a lower price.
Me: We had this conversation before, my answer hasn’t changed.
Them: But…
Me: Here I’ll make it easy for you… hire the other company. In fact, give me their number and I’ll accept their deal on your behalf.
Them: What?
Me: Look if you want my team then my price is the price – if you want a lower price you need to go somewhere else.
{I hung up}
*Received email 20 minutes later asking for a lower price.
