You gotta build those relationships brah. Established trust and service are something people will always pay for. Unfortunately it takes longer to do that and get a loyal customer base than it does to get paid on one deal. And you can't eat if you're waiting for those first couple of deals.

62% off! Cut that price till you're losing money on every sale!

How do you make-up the loss? Easy, volume!

j/k... I know it sucks, but I think price pressures are coming with a vengeance. People have to pay those new, higher tax tabs soon.
