Hi Noel,

    If you have an Idea how much you are underpricing things, percentage
    wise, when you come up with a price for the customer add that
    percentage, before speaking. Example: If you think its going to be
    $100. And you undercharge by about 50% tell them $150. If they balk I
    say, "I usually estimate high because I can always lower my price.
    But I have a hard time raising it after the fact." If you go high
    with estimates it can end up covering the PIA factor you didn't know
    about. And if everything works out great, you can always come in
    lower than your estimate and that makes them very happy. 

Candy
