Ask Why do some clients act surprised that quality freelance work costs real money when they reached out first?

[Edward22]

This one is genuinely puzzling. A client contacts you, which means they already looked at your work and decided to get in touch. Then the conversation turns to budget and suddenly they act like the rate is unexpected. Quality work has always had a price attached to it, and that should not come as a shock to anyone who has been hiring for any length of time. It makes you wonder what number they had in their head before they reached out. Have you ever had a client act surprised by your rate even after they came to you first?

Some of them are doing this just to freak you out and still be able to greet down the price over the time. You need to also know that some of these clients have experience in the marketplace working with different service providers. So when such a thing happens you don't have to freak out okay you mean firm and respectful
