I generally agree, although whenever a rate is reduced for any reason, it should be stated out loud and in writing and on every invoice with a clear end date or specification for the reduction. Never let the special deal be forgotten as anything other than a special deal and after the deal is up, raise your rates back to normal without hesitation or apology.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoNever reduce your rate. Always make it clear on the invoice what your rate is, and apply a clearly explained discount to the invoice. Discounts are temporary, rates are sticky.
