Simply put, when you charge the same no matter whether something is finished within 1 month or 1 week, everything will always be "urgent". If the client doesn't need to pay more to get work done sooner rather than later, every client will always prefer to get it sooner.
I find this extremely annoying. I am thinking about charging 3x the price if they want it done by the time it "needs to be finished", as opposed to the time by which I feel like doing it.
Don't get me wrong - I understand that sometimes things really are urgent. If there is a bug in the application that stops a company from being able to do business, sure. But if something is urgent because the management says it has to be done by a certain date, or because they want to put something out in the market as soon as possible, then I feel like it should be (ethically) ok to charge 3x the price (with the hope that they will realize it is perhaps not so urgent).
It seems fair to everyone - if it really is that urgent, they will pay, but in most cases, they will realize that it wasn't as urgent as they initially claimed it to be.
Is there a standard way of handling this problem that will not make the client feel like I'm treating them unfairly?
