Know Your Value

My sister is a realtor.  Recently, and days before the closing, the client wanted to reduce her commission, they asked her to cut it.

She said "NO!"  Without a beat, she said I know My Value and I will not let you compromise it.

They kept it as it is.

I recall a client pulling the same stunt.  They wanted me to cut my fee and I told them NO.

They paid me my fee.

Sometimes you have to Know Your Value and tell folks so they won't try to reduce it -- and YOU!

And, if they don't want to relent, then move on.  You know your value and that is what's important!

I also am convinced that they will relent, when you stand fast.
