Don't talk about your own costs, that's not their problem. If you offer more than your competitor but cost less, that sounds like a good argument. Other than that, point out how much value you can bring to their business, how they're going to save more than they're paying you. Once they realize that, they're not going to care how much money you're making off it, one way or another.

Absolutely! They couldn't care less.

Not to mention, your costs are irrelevant to the price-point. Think back to your econ101. It's a competitive market, so supply and demand will largely determine the pricing options.

You can absolutely talk about your costs if you're replacing something they'd do in-house. It reminds them of what you are saving them.
