Really interesting and many personal questions found answers. For future events, I hope that technical problems will be less important... A great moment
After an initial brief period of technical difficulties with the audio; I thought the presentation was not only well -presented and interesting, but that it also offered a lot of useful and new information, as well. Thanks again for this well-received yearly event, Suzanne: keep up the good work!
but, i won' starve since this is not my only income source

Somebody once told me it's not a good idea to start you offer with your price. Since I tend to start to talk about the deadline, and only then start to talk about the price.

In my experience I don't remember offensive offers, low in the worst case

of course, the deadline is crucial to set the price!

I also once read that people tend to pay more if you break up a total bill in smaller parts. Then they see lower figures, and are more tempted to accept the outcome.

In in ideal world, translators should have access to the material first and a deadline specified before making a price decision

I also think that those strategies don't work with purchase managers.

Well, I always ask to see the material before I commit myself.
