Thought for the day - Value Yourself
Permalink Closed


 

"It's unwise to pay too much, but it's also unwise to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money, that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing you bought it to do.

The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. It can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it's well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough money to pay for something better."

John Ruskin (1819-1900)

 

Some ideas are timeless... Consider the above when setting your prices.

Now that Neil would be a split personality right up there with Smeagol Gollum.

The quote is meant to make one think about the arguement that you do not win clients simply by being the cheapest service provider.

It is not however a recommendation for value pricing which values the client rather than the service provided.
