Recently I contacted a company that does video home tours
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPgJ6lekEutiDFIOpyhSwbw
because they had a sh*t website, and they got back requesting some background and a quote.
The thing with this site is that they have a HUGE "database" of house listings and realtors(could be more than 400) and every single one of those has a page on the website. So you can imagine the size of the project.
As this is huge I reached out to @Fox for some advice and he told me that this is a 30-50k project(in my mind unthinkable amount, for now) and with that In mind, I sent a quote of 18-30k.
In my mind, it was too much, but I listened anyway to fox's advice(BTW, what a great guy, altho we talked before, he had no idea it was me and just gave me his skype and shared some solid advice, if you are reading this, thank man)
They got back to me saying that it was too much and after asking what is their budget they said that the biggest quote they received was half my price. Of course I in someway expect that.
I want to lower the price to 7k(I know that is it worth 7 times that, but from my point of view this would bring me to 90% of my goal in my thread, and I really want to do this just for the experience and to have something huge like that under my belt and I would tap into a huge network of potential clients.)
My question now is how do I justify going from potentially 30k to 7k without looking like I am desperate for work.
"I talked with my partners and we can bring it down to 7000$ USD because (insert a reason that doesn't sound stupid/desperate)"
Any advice on how to win this client would be much appreciated, thanks!
