In another life I worked for a guy that ran an answering service. He bragged
that he had the cheapest prices around. After I had left and started my own,
I attended his bankruptcy auction.

I figured out what it cost us to keep the doors open and people answering
the phones and set the rates accordingly. We did well until people decided
that they liked VoiceMail. I closed the live answering service and made a
living developing, writing, and building Voice Mail systems.

Generally, honorable people are willing to pay a fair price to get the
products/service that they want. Give the customer top notch customer
service and they are willing to pay well for what you are doing.

Undercut your competitor with better service and better products, NOT lower
prices!
