Minimum Day Rate/Sqm

[Fekin]

Actually i would work for almost any price as i believe in keeping busy. If i was out of work and someone offered £60 for a small job i would do it. Bills to pay and mouths to feed etc.
I wouldnt be interested in working my nuts of for that money on a regular basis but every little bit helps.

Exactly, good post.

While I did a thread about quite a while ago now about keeping to your minimum sqm rates, there does come a time while it may not last too long, that you need to drop your prices to keep the work coming in.

I said to myself ages ago, that's my minimum sqm rate and I won't do it for less, and while that worked for a good while, it started to lose me estimate after estimate as the customers face just dropped and said they had had quotes far cheaper and they wasn't interested at all :3:

So to get the jobs back in a price drop was needed.

Now my old minimum sqm rate was not expensive to start with, so now quoting a lower price just means I have to get a little hurry on while keeping good form.

It's just something you have to do every so often.

When you can get good money you take it but when things are slow you take what you can. Sitting at home is no good for moral. Taking a cut in money can be downheartening but its something and for any newcomer the more jobs you do the more experience you are getting, so get out there.

Yep, it sums it up very nicely.
