How Many Quotes?
You receive a phone for a photo shoot, they ask you for a quote. How may quotes do you give? One or two?
I always give 3 quotes, like Goldilocks:
- The basic
- The medium, regular
- The deluxe version
Why give 3 quotes?
- It gives the customer the perception of choice.
- It seriously counteracts the discount frame of mind. You want a discount, I can provide the basic package.
- Most customers will choose the medium or the deluxe, meaning more money for me and extras for them.
- Who else is giving them 3 quotes? Nobody! That's another way of differentiating me.
