I am so glad that you took the time to share from the other side of the desk! I brought my "corporate" mindset to my own business and I wholeheartedly agree with you! If I could frame your comment, I would so that people would finally "get it." Thank you, thank you, thank you for this valuable perspective! Cindy, thank you so much for your comment!

I'd just like to address a couple of points: First, sales people are not automatically annoying. They only become annoying after the fifth or sixth "follow-up" call. Also, underpricing your services is a sure way to lose the job. I'm instantly suspicious of a bid that comes in much lower than the others. Price your work in line with the marketplace, and I will likely not have a clue that you are the new guy on the block. Just thought you might like some comments from the "other side."
