    Note For Service Providers Worrying About Charging "Too High" A Price Or Considering "Starting Small And Working Up". Remember that it's easier to negotiate DOWN than UP. In other words charge WAY more than you think you should. Here's Why.

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 04:17 AM PDT

    In service-based industries, such as consulting or graphic design or copywriting and so on, it's always a mental tug-of-war about what price you should charge. The general idea is that you should start small if you're new, or if you don't have a lot of clients yet, and then work your way up.

    But often what ends up happening is people start charging one price then they get scared to increase the prices on their existing clients. Or, they start looking for new clients and they charge higher prices (trying to up their price gradually), and now they have two sets of clients. They got the old ones who are used to one price and the new ones who are used to another.

    That's because it's HARD to negotiate UP.

    There are all sorts of psychological issues that go with getting someone used to a smaller cost and then increasing your cost demands over time. On the one hand, your client will try to understand (you're a business after all), but it can also build a sense of resentment.

    There's also the psychological effect on the service provider (you) as well. Because it's like going up to a boss and asking for a raise. It's pretty stressful. Many people just avoid it and go, "Oh well, that's the price we've been doing, so let's just keep doing it."

    Again, that's because it's HARD to negotiate UP.

    This is why you should always start at a much higher price than you are comfortable with.

    Almost everyone I tell this to thinks it's going to backfire, but you need to understand the psychological aspects of it.

    let's say I am very uncomfortable charging $5,000 for a service.

    In fact, I'd be completely willing to do the job for $2,500.

    Why, then, would I charge the price I am uncomfortable with rather than the one I am super comfortable with, that's lower and more favorable to the client?

    Let's look at three possible scenarios.

    • The best case scenario is they accept what you have charged out-right: Now you are making more money, so that's obviously a win.
    • The second case scenario is they express hesitation on that price and say it's beyond their budget: This is actually GREAT for you, but I'll talk about that in a second.
    • They laugh at you and hang up the phone: Good! You don't want that client. Most people, when faced with a price that's too much, will show hesitation or at least say "I can't do that", but they're not going to write you off immediately.

    So let's look at the "second" case scenario and why this is good for you.

    You Have All The Power Now!

    When your potential client expresses that this is "too much" then you get to then say, "Well, you know what, I'm willing to compromise on this because I really want to work with you. Since I know this is our first time working together, I'm willing to negotiate so we can find a price we're both comfortable with and maybe we can revisit later after we've worked together a bit. "

    This does something very, very powerful.

    It makes the client think they're getting a "good deal" and it also makes them feel like they are in CONTROL of the situation.

    You wanted $5,000 now you're saying you're willing to negotiate. Now the client is breathing a sigh of relief, and they also feel as if they have more control over this situation. Like they are "negotiating you down." They may even go off and tell their friends they got a "great deal" and they "negotiated this guy down from $5,000!"

    And here's something else that's going to happen...

    They will feel an innate pressure not to go too low because that will make them look like a cheapskate.

    They have no idea you'll take $2,500 and that this is a GREAT price for you. So maybe they'll say, "Well how about $3,500? I know that's pretty far from your price, but I'm willing to re-think the price later if we do good work together."

    And you say, "Well, you're right, it is pretty far away from my starting price.... but you know what, let's do it."

    Boom -- now your client feels like they got $1,500 off your price and "negotiated you down", they felt in full control of the situation, you also built good will and earned their trust by "compromising" not only that, because you were so generous to lower your price, chances are your client will VOLUNTARILY increase the price later because they'll feel a certain amount of guilt for getting you to do such a great job so far below your initial asking price.

    That's why it's easier to negotiate DOWN than to negotiate UP.

    Just a quick post I wanted to make, Hope it helps some folks.

    How do people decide what to pursue? I have lots of blind ambition but can’t decide what to do with it

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 02:56 PM PDT

    Title pretty much says it all. I work an engineering job but feel frustrated and under utilized, and want to at least take a real shot at running my own business. However I am having a hard time convincing myself to quit or pursue something on the side when the typical prospects are "power washing" or something similar where I don't feel confident about the scalability ie I don't think it would be worth all that effort. I am in consulting, so another option is working another year or two and then starting my own firm, but I don't wanna have to wait to get started. Any advice on how to pick a path? How do you convince yourself that something is worth pursuing?

    Ideas for a small, 1 man, service based business with $500-$1000 to start.

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 02:00 PM PDT

    I have a small reliable pickup I could use to drive to customers houses the only idea I've had so far is pressure washing houses. I was going to go with a quality electric washer, which is not optimal but will get the job done while staying in my budget.

    Preferably nothing extremely physically taxing.

    This will be side money to go with my full time job, if I could make $200 extra a month I would be happy.

    Update on that Pizza Store thread. Holding off on it because the price is too high and the numbers look fishy. I'm trusting my instincts on this one and backing off (at this price). Also, I've found another project that will likely take up all of my money.

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 01:09 PM PDT

    I'm the OP who wrote that pizza store thread. Apparently it caused some hooplah in this subreddit because of how critical everyone was. Just want you all to know that I don't care how critical someone is. I think criticism, sometimes even heavy and generally unfounded criticism, is important for successful entrepreneurship. I hate being surrounded by yes-men. I want people to question everything I do, and the comments in my thread were not, I think, outlandish. I did not agree with everyone in that thread, but that does not mean I didn't welcome everyone's opinions.

    I do apologize for deleting the thread as well. Never thought it would become that popular on here. That kind of stuff doesn't need to stay on my main account for everyone to see. Next time I'll use an alt account so I don't delete valuable discussion.

    Anyway, something seemed off about that pizza store, so I'm not going to buy it at the current price point. The amount spend on employee wages seems a bit low for where the store is located. I believe there is some under-the-table stuff going on that is being used to manipulate taxes and show the store is more profitable EBITDA than it actually is. Perhaps fake revenue as well. I also believe the landlord is a family member or business partner of the pizza shop owners, and that they're selling off a bad project. I've seen it happen before and the numbers I'm seeing are making me highly suspicious of it as well.

    A few people in this subreddit mentioned that the large number of bad Yelp and Google reviews (200+ each) would be very hard to climb back up from, which is not something I thought would be hard to do, but is something I've now considered as a real issue. Thank you for that insight.

    Another reason I'm backing off is because my mom's sister and I might be going in together on another project that will likely take up all of my money. Still working on getting an experienced inspector out to it before I take the bait.

    What's the story behind your first ever sale?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 09:33 AM PDT

    Aunt Susan taking pity on you? Right place, right time? Strategic networking?

    I'd kick things off with a story of my own, but I just started my business and am still awaiting the first sale. (Although I have tried a couple of super small businesses in the past and had some sales through those.)

    Does anyone have a recommendation? Essentially I would like to sell compostable packaging to a specific industry similar to the restaurant industry.

    I need advice, but I'm scared of sharing my ideas

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 10:05 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I am the owner of an active and fast growing Instagram account and I want to start a business from it to raise capital for my dream business. It would not be my first ecommerce business (I did dropshipping at a point, but that business failed) but I need lots of advice about how to proceed so that this new business can succeed. For example:

    . What business idea should I prioritize?

    . What should I name my business?

    . What should my first product be?

    The problem is, I am nervous to share my ideas with other people both online and in person. Online because I don't want anyone to steal my ideas and in person because I want it to be a big surprise.

    What should I do then?

    . Should I just get over it and share?

    . Am I better off keeping my ideas a secret and figuring these things out on my own?

    . Did anyone have the same fear and overcome it?

    . DOES ANYONE WANT TO BE MY MENTOR (for free 😅) ?

    Thanks in advance!!

    New to selling clothes online, I appreciate getting any advice or information

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 12:40 PM PDT

    We launched our online store few days ago. We though that a big part of the work required was done (Creating website, creating designs and products....). Now we know for sure that even if we create the most creative, beautiful products, it doesn't mean shit without people knowing that we exist online. To all new and experienced entrepreneurs out there, what advice can you give us?

    Some businesses inherently need capital upfront; how does one get funding when there is little to show for?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 12:34 PM PDT

    I think one of the reasons we see so many internet companies vs hard tech is because VC's can expect that something is built before you invest. But what you have a business model and concept? We all know execution is where the value is, but a good idea with potential could be successful if executed well.

    A Question About Trademarks and Lastnames

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 11:10 AM PDT

    So my last name is Zamboni and I would like to start a business/side hustle with my last name in the title. Due to Zamboni already being an established product and company would I run into problems? I have no affiliation with anything having to do with the Zamboni Ice Cleaner Company, I just happen to have the same last name. Would I run into issues with names? Legally?

    How do you find YouTube/Instagram accounts willing to sponsor your product?

    I created a product that's perfect for older people, or as a good gift (without being too specific) and have been trying to find good YouTube channels or Instagram accounts which would sponsor our product to their audience.

    Does anybody know how to negotiate with these accounts or how to even find them? I'm finding it difficult and didn't know if there was a source out there for this.

    It's very difficult to find a good technical co-founder [cto][co-founder][solution]

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 10:54 AM PDT

    Hey guys, it's very difficult nowadays to find a good tech co-founder or someone who can build your MVP and help you move into the right direction. After dealing with a lot of "good" freelancers, mostly overseas, I decided to go a little bit deeper into my research, finding the right one or a good alternative.

    So I was able to find a company which offered a good solution for my struggles. They built my MVP for a reasonable fee. Before even I agreed to work with them, they gave me enough guidance in front of how exactly the technical part needs to work. I was able to understand most of it and what should be done, to have a normal working product.

    Now they're helping me find the right tech co-founder. I meet with a couple of potential candidates, but I felt like they are not the right people.

    Honestly, I still keep working with the same company and they do a great job for me so far.

    My questions, do you think I need a tech co-founder or I just need to stay with that company?

    Books on failure

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 07:04 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    Are there any books that deal specifically with failure and how people overcame/dealt with/improved/learned from failure. Theres so many books on success, I was just wondering if there were any books on the subject of failure. I know there are a lot of anecdotal references to failure as well as touches on failure or maybe even chapters dedicated to failure, but are there any entire books dedicated to the subject.

    b. willing to do this, given the very different cultures that VAs may come from?

    I'd appreciate advice.

    Do you about care equity/stock options if you were to join an early-stage startup?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 10:29 AM PDT

    I started a newsletter that focuses very specifically on roles at early-stage companies that offer equity. Recently though, I've seen a bit of a backlash on Twitter against vested equity options at startups (e.g. most people don't make any money from this, the tax obligations (especially in the US) before the equity becomes liquid, and needing to exercise the option by buying the equity). My view is that while there are things that could be improved about how things currently work that 1) early employees should have exposure to the upside of the company, and 2) remote early-stage employees should also be compensated with equity just like on-site staff. Any thoughts on this? Is equity (in addition to salary) an incentive to take a position at an early-stage company?

    Wanting to dive into contractor work for Data Gathering/Management/Analysis. Currently browsing Upwork, but any other suggestions?

    Initially I'm more focused on building a portfolio then making $$, so I guess I'm more open to a less formalized process as long as i can showcase my work at the end. Also, I'd really love to get a mentor in this space, so if anyone is reading and wouldn't mind answering some specific questions, please don't hesitate to message me.

    If it's relevant to to the question, I work in the financial industry and manage member feedback and complaints, so everything from survey building to KPI analysis to dashboard building. Wholistic "Voice of the customer" essentially.

    Thanks for the time!

    Selling Fruits and vegetables UK

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 09:43 AM PDT

    Hello guys, I am writing this post to have some feedbacks about an idea that I am trying to develop with my father.

    So Long story short,

    With my father we have a family business buying fruits from local farmers and selling to italian wholesalers, in the past the company was going very well but now the italian market seems to be overflowing, and the company is not making profit anymore.

    Since now I am living in the Uk I would like to start importing Italian fruits and vegetables here in London.

    I think is worth it mention that the added value that our company has is the very high quality products that are currently not present in the british food market.

    Given that we already have all the necessary documents to export fruits and vegetables, how will you find and approch some possibile new british customers? is better an email or directly phone them?

    Overall what do you think about this idea? any advices?

    Thank you for spending your time reading this post

    Emanuele
