Why can some designers charge more than others? Why can Paul Rand, Saul Bass or Michael Beirut charge 100x more than the designers that work for them? What can you learn from them that you can apply when presenting yourself and your work especially when talking about money, bidding and estimating graphic design jobs?
Is it trust, passion, posture, gamesmanship, assurance, studio, experience, portfolio, expenses, team, personality, or being genuine?
Be bold and ask for it. Get your S*** together. Self confidence.
