[Lisa Koza] “yikes”
Whoa there Lisa. Because you’re doing it as a side job, the answer should have been “We do those quite often and my price is about half of what it would have cost if you’d walked in the front door with it.
Something that I always say when I’m asked why my competitors are cheaper is “Because they’re worth it”.
By the way, of course the head guy wants to get it done for $300. That’s probably where he’s got all of his employees – working for nothing. After all, if they had any talent or skills at all, they would be doing it in-house. And don’t forget, they will probably detail you to death. Small people make themselves look like big people by changing things unnecessarily. It’s funny how you can be sitting at a meeting and everybody wants to change something until you start hanging price tags an the crappy things they want to do. Suddenly, it’s just fine.
When people ask me on the phone “What can I get for around $200”, my reply is “We’re almost there right now”. Most often, they hang up and go pedal their life problems to others.
If you concentrate on being positive, confident and professional, people will tend to treat you that way. Wear business clothing and don’t look anxious. I can get 20% more on a job by wearing slacks or nice cargo pants instead of jeans. I also wear long sleeve shirts to cover my gang tattoos.

I live in Phoenix which is 350 miles from LA. A lot of people who live here have mobile phones with a 310 area code which is the area code for Hollywood. It seems like the Hollywood types will only call you back if you have an LA phone number. So, the answer is yes and you can get a phone over the internet.
You can also gat a land line that forwards to your cell but you probably want the new number to come up on caller ID, right.

[Yves Chauvel] “I used the EX1 last week during a training seminar with FCP 6.0.2 and the latest version of XDCAM transfert from Sony (2.0 or something). “
Did you do a live recording straight from the camera to the computer?

So Bob, I wish I’d seen this last year when I was in the hospital so I could take a week to read it. I knew that something went down but I’d never seen it.
Would anyone like to read it and write a summary?
Thanks Bob. You made my day.
By the way, the reason that I asked was because I just replied to a gov’t RFP for my local city. We got the bid the last time and it’s been 5 years and we’re up again. There was a paragraph on payment and they asked what our terms were but also stated that they couldn’t consider the terms when deciding.
One interesting part was that they asked “Your rate for travel – all inclusive”. When you slice your rate by 50% and then add vehicle expense at $ .50 per mile, at 70 mph, it looks like an inflated price. But, the numbers are the numbers.

[David Roth Weiss] “You see, what no one knows is that a “shadow” post office exists here in the U.S., one that delivers only the payments, and one which is intentionally several times slower than the Post Office that we all know about–you know, the efficient one, that delivers the bills.
Its a super-secret, black ops branch of the U.S. Post Office, probably run by Haliburton–one whose primary job is to create nationwide check kiting for both government and big business, creating a huge float, effectively stealing interest right out of the pockets of all innocent and unsuspecting citizens.
So, the next time you run down to the mailbox to see if that big payment or deposit is there, why bother, you know its not, and now you know why…
“Put that in script form and let’s talk.
