    Hmm.... I suggest you try to appear reasonable, even if you're sticking to your rate no matter what... Somebody on the client side is feeling cost pressure, and you've got to somehow make them relax a bit, otherwise odd things may happen soon that mess up the business relationship....

    The trick is to find a win-win or at least a way to be reasonable without giving up a principle.... for example,, make it clear that you've both got businesses to run, you respect their need to make a profit, you're not out to gouge them.... and if you're brought in at the planning stages, they may have fewer surprises and cost over-runs if you can help them plan bids, etc...
