As a small business owner i've heard from a few different places that there are three components of a sale
- Good Service
- Good Workmanship
- Good Price...
The basics state you should pick any two... The customer can't have everything, so they have to pick what is most important to them... One of our local tv adds is great - shows a kid waiting in the rain after sports practice... waiting for mum who assumabley has broken down... If my mechanic raised his prices i'd stick with him. If i broke down on the side of the road i'd be .......... extremely unhappy. If my wife broke down on the side of the road i'd be dead...

My field is full of freelancers, (although I am salary - Defence - Soldier) and it goes like this:
To keep the math easy, 40 hr week for 45 weeks approx 1800 hrs per year. Most of my colleagues agree to aim for 100k per year income allowing fudge - this is not a tech on salary but individual freelancers. This amount does not include overhead etc incurred by business.
Just to achieve this, means $180 per hour. This is low end in the repair of medical equipment. Yes rates are flexible, I once got quizzed by a dentist that I was charging more to fix his chair than he got for using it after 5yrs at medical school! I quipped that I still didn't drive a Merc! I have charged $280.00 per hour for some work at some surgeries, because that is the going rate.
