DO NOT LET A CLIENT DICTATE YOUR PRICE!🎈
Charge your worth. Value your work.
A customer asked me how much a mini fondant cake was for her daughter's birthday.
I told her $90.00
- She said: For a cake? That’s a lot!
* How much did you think it would cost you?
-She said, at most $ 30.00, it is a simple cake.
* For $30 I invite you to do it yourself.
- I just don't know, she told me.
* For $30, I will teach you, so in addition to saving $60, you will have the knowledge for the next time you need it.
It seemed good to her and she accepted.
* Here is what you would need to get started:
You need tools: various cutters, rollers, scales, mixer, molds, dyes, bowls, cake pans , among many other things.
- But I don't have all those items and I'm not going to buy all of that for a single cake.
* Well for $30 more I can rent you my things, so you can do it together with me.
- Okay" --- she says still. not so convinced....
* Ready on Friday I will wait for you to start doing it.
- I can't do Friday, today I have time."
* But today I don't have time to teach you and lend you my things.
You also need to buy all the materials . Butter, eggs, chocolate, cream, flour, among other things.
-Oh, no. Going to the grocery store to buy those things seems time consuming..... You have any there...Could you sell me some of your supplies?
* It's okay. Just because I want you to learn things as they are, I'm going to sell to you from my supplies. But you must be very punctual because I have more cakes to deliver. I'll wait for you tomorrow at 5 am to start all the work.
- You know? It's very early. I better give you the $ $90. I already put it together and it will be more expensive.
There is no charge just to beat eggs, sugar and flour. There is no charge to prepare a "simple cake".
What she is charged for:
-Knowledge
-Experience
-Study
-Utensils
-Tools
-Time
-Responsibility
-Warranty
No one can denigrate anyone's work by putting the price that seems to him or despising his work.
DO NOT LET A CLIENT DICTATE THE PRICE!
My worth, my hardship.
