      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            Once you have his quote go back to him & say "thanks I’m just comparing your tender to another, once the comparison is done I’ll call you" if he feels he has over cooked the price he may offer a discount there & then. But get a 2nd quote anyhow.
            He's right. It still amazes me on how naive a number of you are. From a consultancy background we would pitch everything! Number of meetings, travel, deliverables including BRD, FRD, Sales Pitch itself, phase 1, phase 2 etc etc

            Just do this. To that you break it into chunks. Nice and easy. This shows the number of total days you would do. So Prelim = 5 days, Phase 1 = 10 days, Phase 1(Extras) =5 days etc.

            Then give your day rate and let the client pick and choose if they wish.
