Yeah, I guess there's always that.Â* I can quote a price, if they don't

But man, it gets old dealing with the rolling eyes.
I had something in the music business I balled the B:B ratio.Â* Bull****
to benefit.
Sometimes there's just way to much bull**** that outweighs the benefit.

I guess for these types of clients I'll break out my favorite motto...
"I may be slow, but at least I'm expensive."Â*Â*Â* :-D

I guess I just had to vent.


I understand, your B:B ratio, it is not just construction, it is most
every business. There are times it is best to walk away.
I remember one customer calling me to say my quote had an error. It was
something like:
1000 pcs $1.00 each
2000 pcs $1.50 each
5000 pcs $2.00 each
He ordered 1000 and found a new supplier.
