[Bradley Signs]

After I hear that I tell my customers in addition to the standard black and white I will give them 2 extra colors on their digitally printed coro signs free of charge.

"...spend a lot..." could mean a hundred different things. Let me suggest a very simple question.
"Interesting. What more would you like me to know?"
And then see where the conversation goes. Just the fact the you want to listen to them will be a rare treat.

 

[Johnny Best]

If you don't want to spend a lot, your not going to get a lot.

 

[Billct2]

We got both kinds...Country and Western.

 

[Gino]

That's good, cause I wasn't gonna suggest a lot.

We have two pricing scales. Ours and the guy down the street. If you want his pricing, go there.

 

[Notarealsignguy]

At least they're honest up front.

Robert, I'd like to see you try some of your own advise in a real world situation, and then report back how it went.

or a waste of time. how much do you want to spend gets to the point much quicker

Notarealsignguy Yes, you could go that way. The key idea from my reply is to let the other person know that you truly want to listen to them. That alone can make price a secondary issue.

Do ya'll ever ask the customer up front if they have a budget they need to stay in?
Some people understand the reason for the question, and some look at you like you're
a used car salesman with slicked back hair & a cheap suit.
