"I'd be willing to work for a lower daily rate if I could get at least a couple weeks worth of steady work from them."
thats cool, but make it work out to a percentage situation. not a lower dollar amount. they might refer you to another company.
the new company might be asking why you are charging them 50/h, but charged 40/h to the other company.
stating on the invoice that you charge 50/h is a non-negotioable rate. the DISCOUNT is what allows you to be flexible.
you could say, "i used to give out discounts in the past for other services and product, but i no longer do this"
otherwise, you will be refferd from company a -> company b -> company c -> etc. and your rate will always be low!
don't settle for a lower rate just cause you need the money. it will come back to haunt you.
