More great input ,I feel much of what you say is truly the way I bid ,basely using a number of different routes to come up with the final number,I guess I’ve been doing this long enough I don’t really think about it,it’s just automatic. Yes I’ve got about 30 years in the WW business plus time in other businesses too. I too agree with being honest it pays in the long run even if it’s just for your own self-worth and respect. If the customer doesn’t want the truth then they deserve to do business with someone who will lie to them.
