The only thing missing is "Just think about all the exposure you'd get from this job! Your image will be seen by thousands of potential clients, which is great advertising. I mean, really, you should be paying us!"

@CaptainTQuirk - Clients consider it "okay" to cheat graphics people because it's ALL ABOUT PERCEPTION. What is the perception of accountants and lawyers? They are not CHEAP, they are very EXPENSIVE. Therefore, clients go in with the notion that they will have to pay money and don't think twice about it.

Somewhere along the line people got the idea that design/graphics work was very cheap (and this notion is only reinforced by craiglist and indians overseas) and it spawned from there.

Wow this is scary real. I am a self-employed portrait photographer. Haven't had many of these personally, but I have professional colleagues whom I have watched go through this. I know I spend a lot of time (A LOT!) educating my clients and friends about the photographic industry. Thanks for creating this video...well done!

This his so close to home is not even funny. I produce music for local artists with the most basic of set ups and I charge nearly nothing..yet I get so many people that still try to rip me off. And the best part is the freaking ending when an actual client tried to rip me off then came back a year later asking to borrow my gear so they can record themselves..F*******CK YOU!!!!!!!

This is a tough one because we want to be paid fairly for what we do but at the same time as a consumer we want to pay fairly. But what is fair? This is where sales skills come in handy. You need to show your clients why you are worth more than the cheap guy. In the end you have to be willing to say " I don't want your business. " I am in commission sales so I know the feeling. I am also a consumer that wants to save money. I don't have any problem paying for services but it has to be fair. In

TO ALL THE CHEAP FUCKSTICK PIECE OF SHIT SCUMBAGS OUT THERE- I HOPE YOU CHOKE TO DEATH ON THE MONEY YOU SAVE. MAJOR ASSHOLES LIKE YOU MAKE OWNING A BUSINESS A LIVING HELL. YOU CHEAP FUCKS HAVE THE FUCKING NERVE TO TRY AND GRIND SOMEONE INTO THE GROUND ABOUT PRICE. IF THE SITUATION WERE REVERSED, YOU WOULD FILL YOUR DIAPER WITH YOUR TEMPER TANTRUM. DO THE WORLD A FAVOR AND GO FUCK YOURSELVES BEFORE YOU INFECT THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY WITH YOUR FRUGALITY. TAKE YOUR SKINFLINT BULLSHIT AND SHOVE IT!

i have experienced being shat on for 20 years as a headhunter for firms in tokyo,

clients ask us to work on spec and we do, sometimes we find out they didn't have authorization, positions were frozen, they decided to hire internally or other reasons,

candidates use us to compete against their other job offers, other headhunters,

lie on their resumes, and so on, but when it works we are happy all the way to the bank :-)
