My Advice to you...Don't EVER discount
« on: November 09, 2010, 03:12:05 PM »
If you grade clients a,b,c or d with A being the best, the sort of people you get the most sh## off are the ones who moan the most and are C's or D's which is "cant work woth" or "dead"

Don'd discount your stuff EVER!

>Don't EVER discount

I fundamentally agree BUT while it's worked well for me on domain sales I had to suck it up and discount mightily (50%) to get potential tenants to lease commercial storefronts in some small shopping strips we own.

You can discount on the front end and make it up on the back in spades.

>make it back

Yeah, but you should keep in mind that Gimp's basic premise is still correct; you're buying whine-y clients when dealing on that end of the spectrum.  So what I did was to carefully outline the very basic services I'd be providing for the reduced price and what my expectations were for them regarding increased responsibilities as a tenant.
