You, as the freelancer, understand this. Your clients might not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the reasons for clients to ask the price question first?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, we\u2019re not here to tell you how evil clients are. To get the most out of your freelancing career, you\u2019ll have to learn to work with a lot of <b>different kinds of people<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not miss our article on how to handle<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/blog\/how-to-handle-7-often-encountered-client-types\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> 7 often-encountered client types<\/a> &#8211; the cheapskate, the I-can-do-it-better or the 110% person!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working successfully with someone often means trying to understand where they\u2019re coming from in the first place. So let\u2019s review some reasons people might have for asking you for a quote a couple of minutes into your first conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b1c3b7\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b1c3b7;font-size:18px\">Join our freelancer community today! <br>Create your profile in just 2 minutes and start attracting new clients.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/registration?ref=blog-com-immediate-project-quote\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-default\" style=\"color:#222222;background-color:#FCF2DB;border-color:#cac2b0;border-radius:20px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#222222;padding:0px 20px;font-size:16px;line-height:32px;border-color:#fdf6e6;border-radius:20px;text-shadow:none\"> <strong>Sign up for free<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. They actually don\u2019t have an idea about the cost<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the simplest answer \u2013 the client wants you to give them a price because they themselves have <b>no idea what the project should cost<\/b>. The simple answers are often also the most likely ones. Especially if your client is a new company or is looking for your particular type of service for the first time, you might be looking at your reason already. That\u2019s one of the most <b>harmless scenarios <\/b>and is easily solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. A maximum budget has been set already<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason number two \u2013 the client is prepared to pay up to, say, 5,000 USD for the project and not a cent more. They\u2019re essentially <b>probing you<\/b>. If they get a quote over that price, they just move onto the next freelancer. If you suspect that is the case, it might be helpful sometimes to try to get that information out of them. But in the end, it will all depend on whether the <b>budget fits your rates<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. They\u2019re afraid of being overcharged<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but definitely not least, your clients might not want to go first with a quote, because they think that\u2019ll end up costing them more. Basically, they think that you should start with naming a figure so that <b>they can make that lower<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/freelancermap.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/channel_incl2\/how-to-deal-with-clients-that-want-an-immediate-project-quote-5016.jpg\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategies to determine the price while not underselling yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The one way you deal with clients that want a quote out of you right away is \u2013 <b>don\u2019t give them one<\/b>. Explain that, before knowing some more details about the project itself, you cannot give them a price. That is <b>fair and true<\/b> and should be easy to understand for your clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how to get that information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Have a prepared set of questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you go for this strategy and tell people you want some more information, you\u2019ll have to be prepared for their next question: \u201cOK, so what do you want to know?\u201d The best way to deal with this is to have a <b>list of question<\/b>s. Think about what determines the scale of projects \u2013 depending on what you do, the answer will be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you\u2019re feeling really confident in determining the prices with a list of questions, you can go one step further and design an actual <b>pre-set document<\/b>. Either link it in your website or send it to clients after the initial conversation \u2013 and voila, you\u2019ve gathered the info you need without having to sweat about pulling a quote out of thin air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Don\u2019t attempt to abuse lack of knowledge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your clients seem to be clueless about what your work entails and what it might cost, the single worst thing you can do is trying to abuse that lack of knowledge. And not only because it\u2019s just a nasty thing to do. In the long term, it will end up costing you. Nowadays, there are a lot of freelancers, many of them offering their services through sites like freelancermap, on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/freelancers-directory.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_campaign=freelancers&amp;utm_content=tips-en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">freelancer directory<\/a>. Doing a reliable <b>price comparison<\/b> is as easy as ever \u2013 and even if the client says yes at first, they\u2019re never coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/freelancermap.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/channel_incl3\/how-to-deal-with-clients-that-want-an-immediate-project-quote-5016.jpg\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Don\u2019t be afraid to walk out if it doesn\u2019t fit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We can\u2019t say this often enough: don\u2019t be afraid to say no. Some clients just won\u2019t be able or willing to afford you. They will try to look for the cheapest possible freelancer, regardless of quality. In cases like that, you should stick to your rates. You cannot afford to work for a fraction of the money you usually get. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to put your foot on the ground and decline a project that is way below your rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Was this article helpful?
