Something unusual happened last week. I woke up to a call from one of my previous client. Client: Hey, Jugraj how are you doing? Me: I'm doing good. How about you Client: Fine. I have a new 2-3 projects for you. I want to speak to you about it. Me: How can I help? Please drop me the details on my mail I'll respond. Client: Sure. But there is a concern about prices. As you know due to this pandemic entire business was close for 2 months. Is there any scope of negotiation. Me: Negotiation. But I need to put the same time & skills it would be really difficult for me to reduce the prices. Client: I understand it but I really like the quality of work. Please take your time and write me back with your decision. Me: okay give me some time I'll write you back. I wasn't sure what to do. I have worked with that client previously & now he has asked me to work for a lower price. I too didn't want to drop this opportunity. After contemplating I dropped him a mail stating that I agree to negotiate but I won't charge less than 'X' amount with the condition that I expect the continuous flow of work (to meet the cost) with advance payment (not to feel working for free) and relaxation in deadline. The client agreed to this and we had this documented. #clientnegotiation #project #prices #freelancing #freelancers #work #projects #client #dropprices #negotiation #amount #finance #deadlines #skills #money #workplace #boss #bossbabe #clientservices #services #skills #value #freework #contentwriting #contentwriter #writers #copywriterslife (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CED4sQfjX3U/?igshid=cxtaqp3wo1zt
