KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • People are looking for a quick way to make money. They are not thinking long term and are constantly chasing the money.
  • They may be currently making more money than they ever have, but that may not always be the case. People are putting their prices up and pushing their regulars to the back of the queue because somebody is offering them more money.
  • Think about your long term reputation. Just because your industry may be booming post lockdown, do not increase your prices to unreasonable rates as this boom is not going to last forever. That money is going to dry up eventually.
  • Do not confuse the high demand with a high skill set. Focus on doing a good job, being punctual and offering appropriate prices. You want to retain loyal clients who can help you build a brand, not mess things up for yourself because of the current economic climate.
