Price Yourself Right’ Tip 9: Never fear the rejection.

Does not charging what you are worth make you feel safe by reducing the rejection you think you’d get if you charged more?

Rejection is a fact of life. Sometimes you get to be the rejecter; other times you are the rejectee; but in either case, life goes on.

What did you do last time you bought a car? Did you buy the first one you looked at, or did you look around a bit, read the papers, surf the internet and get your “eye” in on price? Would you get more than one quote if you were printing a large run of brochures to drop in letter boxes in your area?

Some companies have a policy of asking for three quotes; that means two quotes are going to be unsuccessful—boo hoo—but it’s not personal.
