You seem kind of triggered. His math was correct. You stated that you charge $8,000 for 2 days in Canadian dollars. He calculated for $4,000 per day. That's reasonable, given what you said earlier in this thread.My rate is actually 20k for a week, it would have taken 2 minutes of your time to figure that out, but of course we all know what client math is like... she charges 600/hr x 8hrs/day x 5 days a week, so she makes 24k a week right? right????
Even if we shared a room, I, like pretty much every provider, require at least 6-8hrs sleep where you do not touch me, so what difference does it truly make if I sleep next to you? Let me tell you what the difference is, I sleep soundly and so do you, neither of us has to worry about if the other snores, turns, kicks or flails around all night, or god forbid, farts up a storm. Everyone wakes up feeling great and refreshed, so that the time that we do spend together while awake is optimal for everyone because we are both our best, well rested, selves. Or would you prefer to save 2 or 3k on a 30k+ trip and we have a less than great time because one of us kept disturbing the other's sleep and by day 4 one of us wants to smother the other with a pillow, or to shove an air freshener up their ass.
In your response to his math, you stated that your rate is ONLY $20,000 for a week. Averaging your "6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep" to 7 would work out to a little over 2 days of personal time. You expected him to assume that you would discount that amount, however, you didn't discount that for your earlier quote of $8,000 for 2 days where it would be assumed that you would still have your 6-8 hours of personal time. If you were doing the math based on a typical week long trip, 8 hours a night over a 7 day/6 night trip, it works out to exactly 2 days of personal time. At least it's nice to know that you wouldn't expect to be paid for that time...
What about SP math? You tried to work out his math and came up with $4,000 less than he assumed, when he used your own numbers to estimate the cost of a trip. Maybe don't insult potential clients on a forum geared towards us. It's not a good look.
Personally, it sounds like you have a bit of an entitled attitude and for that I wouldn't book you. So no loss here, but you may have caused others to think twice. Sounds like you're more interested in booking Americans though so I doubt you really care.
Have a good one.
