So how do you know what price to give? Anticipating the Audience's Reaction
Obviously, you can not know all of the things that will set off an individual person. But you can know and base your actions on far more specific information about them than you probably now are using. Even if the reaction of the audience cannot be known, try not to do anything that will directly cause him to react negatively based on what you know to be generally true.Most people are likely to become quite active in their reactions and responses, for psychologically, they are ego-defensive as well as subjective. Either consciously or unco
- Your resume, CV, portfolio, reputation etc. I.e. everything which can help them appraise your competence as a freelancer
- Your interest in and understanding of their specific project
- Your price
And it is not necessarily in that order. Some will look first at the price, others will be most interested to see that you understand their project, third will want to see that you are an expert. Regardless of which criteria is most important for your potential customer, all of them will have a big influence on their decision.

The best quote is not the lowest quote
Even if the buyer of your freelance services values the price as the most important criteria, he does not always look for a low quote. Of course the customers in the freelance market can't or don't want to pay too much, otherwise they would contact some big company. Most of them want reasonable price.
What does reasonable mean? It's not about how much you want to take or how much you think is fair. It's not about the market prices, about how much effort is included or how professional you are. It's about how much the customer think is fair. A reasonable quote must meet the following requirements:
- Does not include overcharges
- Is not too low. Your client does not want amateur to work on his project
- Does not make them feel scammed
- Does not make you feel underpaid

I'm pleased to see this level of awareness, even when they are still struggling with final product formulations, financing, staffing, etc. because eventually every company needs to consider outside markets.To make the transition into exporting easier when the time comes, there are some things companies can consider now to lay the groundwork for international expansion.

So how do you know what price to give? Leveraging Promotional Software Techniques
In recent consulting work for a number of large corporations, I conducted an experiment using software to distinguish the level and value of my services to the companies I worked with on a number of assignments. The objective was to test the response, continued use, and perceived value of the services provided to my customers. As part of each assignment, the companies requested that I provide procedural information to document my positions in a way that would orient their own personnel, or subsequent contractors to the resources, information, ao pay too much, otherwise they would contact some big company. Most of them want reasonable price.

So how do you know what price to give?
Simple, ask them what is their budget! No, it's a joke of course. I fact, it's good to avoid asking the customer what is their budget. Direct asking may make the customer feel pushed.
Sometimes you will have "hints" about your client. They may give approximate budget themselves. You may know them from someone else. If you work on a freelance site, usually the projects have approximate budget or price category. In this case it's easier. But knowing that is not enough.
Calculate your optimal quote
This is really simple. As a freelancer you must be able to estimate the amount of work involved in the project. You probably have average hourly rate. Multiply the hours to your hourly rate and you have the basic quote. Add to this any fees you may need to pay - for credit card procesors, bank wire, check fees, western union, escrow fees if any and freelance marketplace fees if any.
Now you have your optimal quote. But as said above, such a quote is not the best. Sometimes you may earn more, sometimes may need to work for less.
If you have a fair hourly rate (i.e. not too different from the market) your optimum price will not be too low, neither will be too high in the eyes of your customer.
Going below your optimal quote
