Everyday I receive lots of letters asking about my rates. Usually they look like: "What are your rates?" or "Do you have a price list?" and don't include any brief, references or previews.
In my reply I explain what price depends on and what I need to know for exact estimate. Also I include all information about conditions, payment methods, file requirements in this letter. Besides I mention that I don't divide my work on levels and I am not interested to do bad work to fit their budget etc.
In short, my letter covers all possible questions and is concise.
And their letters are shorter than tweets, very similar and indicate unprofessionalism. They don't need any business proposals and contracts, they refuse to write a brief or give some references, they don't rely on my taste but still want "something". I even can't help them to find solution or offer my ideas because of lack of communication. They don't tell any word about their project, care about rates only and convince me I must have 'price list'.
Do you face with such cases and how do you handle with it?
