OH. MY. GOSH! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEENN???? Well, in this episode I explain fully where I went and what's next... 

In today's episode, we learn three ways to say the same thing: Magic words to learn a client's budget and help you prepare yours properly to make more money and not lose out.

After using the magic words, just nod and say okay I’ll keep that in mind to whatever they answer

The reason why this is a win-win-win is you either get more money or you say no or you negotiate to get your price.. or say no. But if you think about it if you don’t ask that question you will almost ALWAYS leave money on the table and you also reduce the chances of bidding way too high and just outright no.. bc if you say outright no you don’t have a lot of room to renegotiate.  Always negotiate up, never down.
