Conditioned price dynamics...
Brain: How did $15.50 become $5.50 overnight?
Mind: Do you wanna buy or not?
You: It’s Black Sunday–let me buy 2.

Salesman: People buy based on their emotions.

Something funny happened to me recently.
Have you ever asked someone for something, and the person told you, “I’ll get back to you,” only for you to become the one chasing them? 😂
Imagine messaging someone to make an enquiry about a product.
You ask for the price.
They reply.
You ask if it is available.
They say yes.
You ask how to place an order.
They explain the process.
Everything is going smoothly.
You are ready to pay.
Then you ask one final question.
Silence.
You wait.
Nothing.
You check again after some hours.
Still nothing.
The next day, you send another message.
No reply.
At this point, you start wondering if you are the one trying to sell something to them. 😂
Meanwhile, this business owner might be somewhere complaining that customers are not buying.
Oga, how will they buy when you have abandoned them at the point of payment?
😂😂
But on a serious note, this is something many businesses overlook.
Getting someone's attention is one thing.
Getting them interested is another.
But following up properly can make a real difference.
Someone might genuinely want your service but get distracted.
Someone might need a little clarification before making a decision.
Someone might be waiting for you to send the invoice, proposal or payment details.
And because you forgot to follow up, the opportunity goes cold.
Not every enquiry will become a sale, of course.
But you shouldn't lose a potential customer simply because your follow-up process is scattered.
This is why organisation matters in business.
Keep track of your enquiries.
Know who you need to respond to.
Record pending tasks.
Set reminders.
And make sure interested customers don't get forgotten in the middle of your busy schedule.
You don't have to keep everything in your head.

A $340 project cost can still need a $414.63 quote.
Illustrative example:
• 8 estimated hours + 25% time buffer = 10 hours
• 10 × $30 hourly baseline + $40 direct costs = $340
• With a 3% payment fee and a 15% target margin:
$340 ÷ (1 − 0.03 − 0.15) = $414.63
Fees and margin are percentages of the final quote. This example excludes taxes and fixed transaction fees; the hourly baseline is illustrative.
We built Ratecraft to bring time, costs, fees and a target margin into one project-pricing calculation. Download once, use offline in your browser, export CSV or print a report.
