Hi everyone so I run a gardening and grounds maintenance business and all my jobs are fixed rates.When a new customer asks if I charge a hourly rate I say no I only charge a fixed rate they don't reply or want to know.How can I push past this and leave the door open for negotiation I think they are worried or nervous because of how much it "might cost".
