Service Industry's Never ending Argumentππ
This is so true... Applies to every industry..
A customer asked me how much for wedding DJing charges.
π π²: R15000 approximately ($1000) π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Why is it so expensive? All I need is a 2-3 hours of non stop music.
π π²: How much do you think it would cost you?
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: R 2500/- ($180) aprrox maximum... It's just easy, right?! all you have to do is play music .
π π²: hmm okay, maybe you can do it yourself.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: but I don't know how...π
π π²: For R2500 ($180) I'll teach you, with that, you can save R12500 approximately ($800) You'll get the knowledge that you'll need. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Okay, I'm fine with that. π

Player mixer ( 500000 ) ($6500)

When you pay for a job, you pay not only for the work materials, but also:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time to go
- punctuality
- Accountability
- Accuracy
- Guaranteed
- Sacrifices
- Safety and security
No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices.
Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work can you estimate the actual cost.
