27 Discussing the Bottom Line
B: We did the best that we could to give you a low price. Did you get our recent estimate?
B:I've already given you a discount of 20% off of our normally charge. If I go any lower, we'll have loss on this project. I really want to work with you on this. But we've already gone as low as we can go.
B: I'll tell you what, I'll go over the number again with our financial team and see what I can do. I can't give you any guarantees. But we can try.
B: Actually, I did have a question. We'd like to know what you had in mind for the budget on this project. We are hoping to put together a really competitive bid. But at the same time, we'd like to hit your target price, too.
B: Do you have any price range? Is there any way you can give me any idea of what direction to go or how high is too high?
