Tiger I wholeheartly agree with you. I am in the business of making money not giving it away to low budget clients. I have FIRED several customers and walked away from more than I care to remember. When they ask if we give free estimates I send them to my competition. However when times get slow we send out a few estimates to those low priced customers.
In the office there is a running joke, a constant potental customer continualy asks for quotes on his machine shop revamping. We have done 5 quots so far with the price going higher with every quote.On the last quote he asked why the price keeps getting higher. I said "Now you get it." He called again yesterday for another quote. I guess he didn't get it.
