your to high

[Rewire]

I am looking for good come back answers for those customers who complain that my rates are to high.One I like I heard from a plumber whose customer told him his competitor offered to do the job for 500.00 less he looked at the customer and said AA plumbing bid that well I should have bid it higher.

Somebody once said that the definition of the low bidder is "the guy who's wondering what he missed".

How about this:

"OK. Just give me a check for the $xxx (fill in your own number) for preparing this cost estimate, and I'll be on my way. If you decide to hire me for the job (within the next 10 days), I will credit this amount to the final bill."

Response: Interesting that you said that the last satisfied customer I bid for told me I was $500.00 lower then the other EC she had bid it.
