Or someone named Joan?! Either way, PetSittingOlogy needs a Facebook page... Do you know anybody who does that kind of thing?

This 'price too high' objection is of course just one of many and the 'let me talk to my husband/wife about it' is certainly one I hear on a regular basis too. For that reason, I have a post I'm putting together that aims to address that excuse head on. How do you usually deal with that one, by the way? Hi Vicki,

However, with 8 years in the business I almost never hear, "your price is too high," even though my price is among the highest in my area. I find people are generally uncomfortable confronting cost directly. The "out" is always, I'll check with my husband/wife and get back to you. That is about cost, but since people can't come out and say it, drawing them out about their objections is almost impossible.
