I'm not gonna give away all my production secrets here but everyone saying it can't be done better open thier minds or get another job.
And to Loch - I never said I was the best salesman, I said I was one of the best he'll ever meet. Joe Gerard wrote a great book "How to sell anything to anyone". Since you're so flush with everyone here turning down work - go buy it for $10 and read it and then we'll argue about it. And tell me how to be a better salesman - I'm all ears. And I'm not too old and set in my ways to learn something new. I'd rather make a sale and break even (not that I did on this one) and have a new client than argue on an adult message board how something can't be done. Get off the cross - we need the wood.

Peter i will keep it short as im on my way out.
Shooting at prices like that CAN be done everyone knows that and you havent invented anything new....every good producer i know always books girls 8+ hours minimum, its the way it has always been done.
I have seen your work and its good.
Honestly go for the business i dont care...good on you.
However i now also know what i can get away with for your quality work should we ever end up talking about that.....you just undercut your own business in public and even snuffed at people laughing at prices like that.
There are still a LOT of companies paying 500-1000 for solos and 2k+ for hardcores/Lesbian
And even more than that.
PS, I already know how to sell anything to everyone if i can sell at any price,
However to be able to keep an office and feed 6/7 people you cant, that is where you actually have to know how to sell, analyse your markets and execute your strateries.
And yes i turn away any business for exclusive under 25k pr contract
Its not that im too proud or think that im too good for money less than that it is for the simple reason that we can make more money doing other things.
