 With regard to rates charged, some one once told me that our rates should be
 such that we get about 70% of the work we quote, ie if we get it all we are
 possibly too cheap, and if we get very little then we're too expensive.
 I rarely get people comment about my prices, either too high or too
 reasonable.

That 70% thing is a neat calculation. I had never heard of it. I'll have to 
keep that in mind. The comment I get most often is "That didn't take long."  
I don't know if they are implying that they are happy I got done so soon, or 
that I charged too much for such a short visit.
