“What do you charge?”
Often the first question, and sometimes the only. I get it, cost is important.
I’m not the cheapest. It’s not that I can’t be, I won’t be.
To cut cost means to cut corners. It’s simple economics. You absolutely cannot do the same job for $60 or even $75 as you can for $100-$120 etc. I won’t skimp on equipment, continuing education, sanitization, charting, or quality. I won’t overload myself with more horses than my mind and body can happily do in a day to make extra funds and skimp on relationships with my clients and rushing from barn to barn.
I’m not the cheapest, but I stand behind everything I do. I answer your calls and texts at odd hours of the day and night. I age horses through photos, help you when you want to find one to buy, help you place ones you need to sell, and bend over backwards to make scheduling work.
I’ve had clients I’ve done a lot for as far as dentistry and outside of it leave me for other providers due to cost. It stings, but I simply won’t cut corners. I’ve had some try to guilt me or convince me to lower my prices. I’ve had others tell me I should be charging more.
Higher cost doesn’t ALWAYS equal higher quality, I get it. But lower cost NEVER does 😉
