I don’t believe the saying “You get what you pay for.” Making such a broad generalization is disrespectful and misleading to those who have to hear it and to those to whom it’s directed.
It’s disrespectful toward your fellow professionals to say that since they don’t charge as much, it must mean they’re work is of lesser quality. There are many reasons to charge less for the same work: Low over head; skilled and trained staff; or even a simple lack of greed.

“You get what you pay for” is misleading to potential clients. It implies doom and failure if the client decides to hire someone who doesn’t charge as much. Using fear to force clients into a decision is a clear sign that the person uttering those words is only looking out for themselves and their interests.

I say run and never look back if you hear those words uttered by a professional trying to sell you something. More than likely, they’re using this fear tactic to justify charging insanely high prices for their service.

Go down the street and talk with two or more similar professionals and then make your decision.
