Written by Laurie Hayes


My clients and many of my readers are small and home-based business owners, and one ofrepparttar biggest struggles they face is getting new customers.

Getting new customers is costly and requires a repeated effort. Once you have a customer it is easier to retain them as long as they are receiving value and benefit from their relationship with you.

I recall a woman I dealt with years ago while I was serving as an executive member for our police association.

The legal name ofrepparttar 142693 association was changing and we needed new letterhead, business cards, etc.

I knew this woman was trained as a graphic artist and was starting her own business.

Always wanting to support new entrepreneurs, I asked her if she would be interested in preparing several samples of draft letterhead and business cards for our review.

She was excited aboutrepparttar 142694 opportunity and informed me she didn't have any set prices, but would create some designs and provide a proposal if we decided to accept her work.

She provided three samples to choose from. The designs she created could be used interchangeably onrepparttar 142695 letterhead, envelopes and business cards.

Her work was good. Our Executive Team reviewedrepparttar 142696 samples and selected a favorite.

I contactedrepparttar 142697 woman several days later and informed her we liked her designs and were interested in purchasing one. I then asked her to submit a written proposal for our consideration.

When I received her faxed quotation I almost fell off my chair. She wanted $750! She provided a breakdown indicating $200/hour for three hours work, and $150 forrepparttar 142698 design.

When I presentedrepparttar 142699 quotation atrepparttar 142700 next executive meeting,repparttar 142701 team members' jaws dropped andrepparttar 142702 graphic artist's proposal was unanimously denied.

What was her fatal mistake?
