I agree with sticking to my fee but having to do that can make me look like a bad guy. I remember caving on a price for an very rich CC because the guy who asked me had me playing at his restaurant. After I did it I was mad at myself and felt I was taken advantage of.
Bingo, they will continue to do so. I'm happy when a low pay AD leaves where I've had a good track record. The next comes in, I charge more and it usually works out fine. I refuse to digress unless it is absolutely necessary.
many times it's not the AD's fault it is the budget they are given for the year and they have to make due stretching it out for entertainment,......if someone isn't happy with the pay level big deal just move on there are so many others out there that will pay what you need. Think about it $100, $125, $150.00+ for the hour even at $100.00 per hr that is still 10x more then working in McDonalds , or minimum wages at $8.00 per hr somewhere, etc, for an hour,...see what I'm saying?...sometimes we don't realize how good we have it in the trenches & how lucky we are top play music and they pay you too.
