I've been in discussion via a business related social networking platform about a project with a non-agent customer. They're keen to setup a call, however I'm being asked my day rate. This is a successful retailer in London, not cash strapped indy bookshop only selling niche manuals on vintage bike repair. on the outskirts of Llandudno.
Would you put down your cards and just show your numbers? £500 600, 700? Risk of course is you either price yourself out or cheap yourself in. My skills/background should hold the inherent value and if it's purely a numbers game I might suggest a trip down to B+M Home Bargains for IT devs. Either way, they're probably making a direct approach to save on recruiters £££££££££££
Gut instinct is to have the call first, then discuss the rate...
