Hi all,
would like an advice please. I have a freelancer that was doing some work for us. We negotiated a "high volume" deal quite some tome ago that was working for us for a while.
today I got a letter from this freelancer. Here it is:
"Although I appreciate your business, I can no longer provide you with work on the current terms. The past few I have allowed to continue since my business was slow at the time. My business is doing quite well now and no longer feel that it is beneficial to me to continue doing the work when it is taking away from my other customers and the profit is very low overall. You are the only client that is set up this way.
I have analyzed the jobs, compared them to what I should have billed and it has been much lower as a whole since inception
So there are 3 options. You can either 1) use someone else for your work; 2) renegotiate a higher amount that we both agree upon or 3) go back to paying the regular price for each job. I can bill weekly if the pay per job is not convenient"
How should I take this? Is this a normal request and business as usual or is it on a fence of freelancer being a bit rude
Thanks all.
