Can't you work with me on the price here?" If so, do you show them the door or try to work with their concerns? bk, have you ever had a client come back after you tell them your hourly rate and say something to the effect of “So-and-so just got their site done for (hourly rate about half of whatever you tell them).

I just didn't want to beat up on clients. I know in almost any situation the clients can end up taking a beating, but I see them as a necessary partner in our business, not to mention the fact that they are people too! Thanks!
