bissett bullet: the price is the price

today’s bissett bullet: “if you want to become a trusted advisor then there must be no discounting. the price is the price.”

by martin bissett

many, at the first sniff of fee resistance, will jump in with a discount to close the deal but what does that indicate to a potential client about your true value?

if you truly believe that your proposal is worth the price quoted then you must present it as such. maybe there is room for a negotiation conversation further down the line but never discount without obtaining something in return.

today’s to-do:

be ready to stand firm when you present your next proposal. practice explaining politely but firmly that you do not discount your services. if your next potential client were to dig their heels in on price, how much would you be prepared to negotiate and on what terms?

i have been approached by a larger firm that wants to buy my practice, but they want a guarantee of retention, and i was thinking of working with them for two years to ease the transition, and then sell. how do i set up the work arrangement?

also, they want me to move into their office, but then i will have to sell my office and the real estate market is soft. also, we will negotiate the price now (a percentage of gross) but how do i know they won’t change their mind, or what happens if the transition period is not good and i have to pull out? what do you suggest i do or how should i proceed?
