TIL that my cheap deals for old clients were costing me

I figured lower rates for regulars would secure steady work. But my income dropped and they always expected a break. Now I charge everyone the same, no favors.

How did your regular clients react when you stopped the discounts?

Stopping discounts was hard, but emphasizing value kept my regulars happy!

Wait, you kept ALL your regulars?

Did any of your old clients try to push back or argue with you when you made the change to flat rates? I'm always curious how much pushback people get when they stop the discounts, and if you had to be really firm about it right away.
