How to Work Out What to Charge Clients

I am not sure it's because they are charged more, but because they are willing to pay more to have it done properly. In my experience, those coming to you looking for a minimum price to get something done, will always be the ones who end up screaming at you and making demands.

I'd completely agree with you, except that some of the customers were actually the same people. As soon as we upped the ongoing costs on a couple of the accounts, both clients changed their behavour and the relationship became a whole lot better for both sides. It's a truly bizarre thing to watch.

Interesting!

I am still (scientifically) curious what the explanation for this is. Perhaps paying more indeed does something in their minds, or perhaps it does something in yours and you deliver slightly more or go the extra mile. Or some of both.
