  1. Over-deliver On Your Promise - Part 2

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

I was highly recommended. They said, Oh, you did a great job for me, you'll–he'll do a great job for you, you should go meet this guy. And I broke one of my own cardinal rules because they were friends, I thought they had the same buying habits. I thought that they probably talked budget, or what I charged the one guy, he told the other guy, probably an expectation there. And the fact that he was even taking the meeting with me, he was probably expecting me to price it out the way I did for his friend, and that his friend would be okay. All right, fine. So I thought, great. I've got all the specifications and the request. I will send my proposal, email it to him in advance of the meeting. So I sent it to him before the meeting. Well, I show up at the meeting, I've got my two copies printed out, figuring this is gonna be very easy. He's having the meeting. So he's going to just sign the paperwork, and we are going to be on our way. I just bought an extra copy for him, just in case, he didn't have the copy that I sent in advance. So I walked in, and the owner of this property, this owner of his building, and the development project he was doing, he wasn't happy. He wasn't happy at all. And he wasn't happy with me. I sat down and he says, Carl, you know, you're a young kid, you came highly recommended by a friend of mine. So I gotta be honest with you, I gave you the benefit of the doubt a little bit here, but I'm not very happy. He goes, you know you're new in business. So let me tell you a few things. You can't do business this way, your prices are high. They are off the reservation high, that's what he said to me. Your prices are off the reservation high. That's how high they are. As a matter of fact Carl, your pricing is obnoxious.
