[QUOTE="Jordan Wolf, post: 35010, member: 316"] Re: What to concentrate on - improving rig and skills A huge +1 to that, Tim. To the OP: not only does it devalue [I]your[/I] work, but it can devalue others' work in your area by lowering the expected costs of the services you provide to your clients. Because of that, either services would be cut or the quality will suffer. There is a minimum price to do the work that you do, you just have to figure out what that is. Many companies charge a percentage of the price of the gear that is being used...5%, 7%, 10%. It depends on what the market in your area can and will tolerate. So, total up your entire rig - equipment, cases, cables/interconnect, etc. - and figure out what a reasonable price point is to charge for it. And don't be surprised if your labor cost(s) are a large portion of the bill...I personally think they should be since it is not the tools that make the carpenter. [/QUOTE]
