On the Matter of Discounts

.
The Translation Journal, (2007)

Abstract

A prospective client sent me an e-mail asking for a quote on some job. I quoted my rates and the client wrote back asking for a discount. What else is new? Why do clients ask for discounts? Clients ask for discounts because so many translators grant them. If we never granted a discount, clients would stop asking. But some translators give discounts just for the asking, making life difficult for me and the other toughies who never give a discount, no matter how and how much the client asks.
