Thought on" Something To Think About While Taking Cheap Fee"

MAYBE.............

If EVERYONE on these threads sent an email to every offer coming to them- and each mail has to be worded the same way - (maybe it could be made a sticky and put in better legaleze or maybe it shouldn't be).

MAYBE JACOB COULD MAKE A STICKY SO THAT ALL SEE IT - goes along with our many threads about the low fees and complaints about companies.

>>>>Dear Scheduler ,

I would really like to do this shop for you however gas is now _____ in my area.
In order to do the shop I would have to have gas re-imbursement and an increased fee. I hope you understand in these difficult economic times it just isn't possible or feasible for me to travel a half hour/30 miles (whatever) and then return 30 miles and then spend one to three hours or more working on a highly professional report which will satisfy both your client and editor.

Kindly consider raising the offer to cover mileage and increased fee or bonus so
that I may happily continue taking this shop for you.<<<<

What do you all think about this?

For me, I typically send something similar, but I think it helps a shopper connect with schedulers if they personalize their emails. Form letters, while providing a great structure (especially for new shoppers) can end up sounding a little impersonal (or at least formulaic), and I think it's the connection that really helps a shopper get the rates that incorporate gas/mileage and reimbursement for their own unique situation. Developing those contacts is where it's at! =D At least for me...
