perspicacious:
A potential customer phoned me and asked for a quote. I said that it was a smallish job and did not necessitate a visit. I quoted my hourly rates on the phone, as the work involved fault finding.
Well. after too many years at everyone's beck and call, I finally learned to say "no" but at first, it was like the scene where Kryten is being taught to lie about a banana!
I got there eventually and find life so much better now I can say "no". Plus thinking of the 80/20 Rule has helped get rid of the 20% of customers who gave me 80% of my troubles.
Try it.
