what should i do about the price if the job takes less time than i thought

[Joe Cogan]

Ive got my first professional job coming up soon and ive quoted them £200, but what if it takes less time to do the job than anticipated? should i lower the price or keep it the same ad tell them i quoted for the amount of work done not the amount of time it took?

Yes

 

[Joe Cogan]

Yes

yes what?

 

[Spacey]

Yes you've priced for the work not for your time

 

[Spacey]

How long are you anticipating the work will take ? 1 day ?

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Depends how you wrote it down and what they accepted.

Price is the price they accepted........weather it takes 1 day.....or 1 week

If you've delivered a great job, done properly and the customer is happy with it, then don't reduce your final price. Be happy that you've made a decent profit.
Believe me, in this game there are plenty of long, drawn out, painful jobs where you'll deserve much more than you've quoted for or indeed you'll get!
Swings and roundabouts...

When I give a price they normally faint

Why..?
To cheap or to dear..?
Or no deodorant..
