We have all been conditioned to find the lowest price. The best deal. The sale of the season. This leads us to sub par quality, poor customer service, and bad experiences. Lets stop doing that.
As a small business owner I HAVE to make sure my business turns a profit or it isn’t long for this world. Being cheap leads to not being profitable. Not being profitable makes me not want to do the work. Not wanting to do the work makes YOUR experience suck. It’s all downhill from there.
BUT, if I make sure my business is profitable (NOT cheap) I am able to perform the work proudly. I am able to make your experience a pleasant one you tell others about. Being profitable allows me to grow my small business to offer more services that you might need with the same level of quality and the same great experience. That’s what profits afford a small business. Not yachts and parties and fancy cars or trips to space but the ability to stay in business and provide a personable experience.
So, please, next time you are doing business with a small company and having a great experience make sure you pay what it’s worth to them without asking for a discount or a deal. Maybe even tip them if they did a great job on top of their cost. Tell others what they did for you and leave a review wherever you can.
Everything is expensive now. Small businesses aren’t trying to get rich off of you, they just want to be profitable so they can continue to give you the great customer service a small business can give someone.
So, please, don’t be cheap..
Have a blessed day..
