I have had some clients who repeatedly wanted a lower price saying we’ve worked together in the past so that obligates me to reduce fees for services. I will not work considerably below ( >10%) the base fee for similar projects, so unless we can agree on a fee within my markup I will ask the client to respectfully obtain services elsewhere so that there are no finance issues between us initially. I offer 100% service so I will not prepare a contract agreement under those circumstances as we do not have a clear meeting of the minds. However even after entering into a slightly unfair agreement, sometimes circumstances occur due to changes from the client during the design phase, prompting additional fees will be necessary to prepare the amendments and at that time it’s poetic justice to recoup the initial loss from a previous project.
