This quote, and the discount being asked for

Materials, subcontractors, and anything else the job itself costs you.

A dollar amount off the price above — not a percentage.

Want the four honest ways to answer “that’s too much” before you touch the price? Read holding your price. Need the exact wording? See the price-pushback scripts, or all free tools.

Why the share of profit, not the share of the price

Ten percent off the price sounds small. Measured against your profit instead of the price, the same ten percent can be forty percent or more — because a discount always comes out of the margin, not the whole number. This tool runs that arithmetic on your own figures, so “a bit off” has an actual size before you agree to it.

Two ways to hold your margin instead

The extra-work figure shows what it takes to earn the discount back through volume — more of the same job, at the lower price. The cost-to-cut figure shows the other route: removing that much cost from the job itself, through a smaller scope or a cheaper material, keeps your profit exactly where it started. Holding your price covers both options in full, plus two more that don’t touch the number at all.

Once you’ve decided the discount is worth it, or isn’t, the price-pushback scripts have the wording for holding the line, offering the scope cut, or declining politely.

Want the agreed price to stay agreed?

BizBinder won’t decide whether to give this discount — that call is still yours. What it does is keep the job’s price on the job record once you’ve settled it, so the number you land on here is the number the invoice actually carries.
