Thanks

Thanks for your replies on this one.

I'll sit down and have a chat with the client and explain a few things.
I've spoken to them about it and have never come to an amicable agreement.

The basis of their argument is that they have an in house guy in another office who is charged at at £100 Per Visual. where I have a daily rate of £250
(industry standard for what i do)

So they said i had to be competative with the in house guy, Which i can't do.

Perhas I'll just set an hourly rate as they seem to think that not all my work will take a whole day (I do charge a minumum half day for any job I do) wheras it normally will take at least half a day for a visual and then the rest of the day getting feedback and making changes as necccesarry.

Anyone else work this way with people?

I have several clients that i charge a daily rate to and they are more than hapy to pay the amount I cahrge.

However i new client has come my way and is only willing to pay half of what i charge other clients for my services.

Obviously I dont want to turn down the work but at the same time i don't want to be selling myself short.
I charge a daily rate for work and if work only takes me half a day.
Should i perhaps set an hourly rate with this new client as the work they want me to do will not always take a full day to complete.

Any advice on how to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated.
