Scikar posted:Firstly, if a company thinks you are being too greedy, you don't want to do work for them anyway if you can afford to walk away. It's just not worth it. Secondly, this seems to surprise a lot of people but in the corporate world it's usually the opposite - if you're a consultant and you're asked to quote for some work and come back way lower than they were expecting, they assume you're cheap because you're not very good. Thirdly, whether or not your relative can justify the cost is irrelevant anyway. What matters is how much the work is worth to that company. This is all good except for the advice about making the first offer. I believe that most negotiating advice says that it is better to open. HopperUK posted:I saw a good blog once for calculating how much you should charge for art. It boils down to - imagine you are doing this full-time. How much would you need to live the life you want to live? Yearly? Work out what that boils down to hourly. Then charge a hefty whack on top of that because you also pay for supplies, and also for all the art you did BEFORE this, that wasn't sold, that is the reason you can do this art now. And that's just for selling to private customers. To a company? Rinse em. Totally agree. 15 days at 8 hours a day is 120 hours. For a skilled artist you are talking about an hourly rate of £100, so closer to £12k would be my opening.

Maybe, and it depends exactly on the work and the company, but as Scikar posted, there is a real thing with perceived value: price yourself too low and you are often perceived as being poor quality. As for the hourly rate, a lawyer will charge £300+/hr; an artist should charge a decent amount too. They have training, skill, and talent.

NotJustANumber99 posted:yeah i dunno. but the fact they used the person before for art and have come back for more and arent offering any help in pricing coupled with the knowledge that said artist is really wary of charging much suggests theyre hoping for a cheap deal. Sure, and there are ways of introducing the price that allows for negotiation if it is more than they were expecting, but if it is done in such a way that it leaves the door open/doesn't frighten the horses, then start high. Detailing how much work, materials and expertise/experience/training goes into it would help. if they dsay no way, we can't afford more than £4k and she is willing to do it for that, fine, but she is still better off than going in at £2k.

The £100 number was something of a thumb-suck, but it’s related to what a number of professionals charge (and is a lot less). Maybe £75 is more reasonable, maybe £120 is, but the point remains: ask for a lot because: i) skill and talent deserve it; and ii) you don’t ask you don’t get, and a company will be paying this out of what may be a hefty marketing budget.

fuctifino posted:100% this. But saying that, Boris should have resigned a long time ago, and he hasn't. He has no shame, and everything to gain by retaining power. He has no qualms about removing the whips off of anyone, even old Tory grandees, for daring to defy him, so I can easily see him ejecting the loudest voices from the 1922 committee. And to be honest, I wouldn't put it past him to attempt to pull some Reichstag event and implement some of the dormant emergency security laws to cling onto power. Totally agree. I think the longer he clings in the worse it is for the Tories though

ThomasPaine posted:Therattle is right though. From what you've said in the past your approach to diabetes management hasn't changed much since the 1980s. That might work for you and you may not feel like there's much reason to change, but a lot of poo poo has happened in the meantime. While it always pays to be cautious I doubt anyone would begrudge someone a cup of cocoa or horlicks or whatever in the evening, and there's no reason someone wouldn't be able to incorporate that safely with a bit of self-experimentation. Actually, I think I agree with Jedit; I’d be wary of a big whack of carbs before bedtime, even with suitable insulin an a CGR that alerted highs and lows. That said, if it was part of a routine and they had the dosage locked then it would probably be ok.
