Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
The answer will depend on how much work you have......If you have lots of work you can have a policy that drives work away.....If you need work you need a policy that bring you work....

We often see newcomers slashing prices and offering freebies only to eventually realize that it wasn't profitable. I can't tell you how many calls and emails I get that end up with the potential client saying "really? the last guy I used didn't charge for art samples/revisions/press proofs or didn't charge extra for onesie and twosie fill-ins, or was just way cheaper in general"You know where this is going.I reply, 'well, why aren't you going back there?""oh, they have closed down"This is a generalization and over simplification, but I suspect that more than one veteran out there sees the truth in this. And back to your statement, Royster. I believe that there is also a segment out ther that will put more value in our time and product if they are forced to pay for it, not unlike Freud's theory of effective therapy. It has more perceived value, and is taken more seriously if it is actually paid for.
