And here’s a bodycam that can keep you safe! One thick slice bologna, maybe ½” thick, that’s the most common suggestion, or you could use 2 or 3 thinner slices right out of the package. To get the most flavor the best way is to fry it in a bit of oil until the meat is crisp at the edge, then top it with American cheese and serve it on a hamburger bun with regular yellow mustard. You can play with the combination, but the basic form is the best. They’ll love it and pay much more than you think.

Sausage and Peppers 1 pound of fresh mild Italian sausage cut to bun length ½ or more of a yellow onion, coarsely chopped ½ pound or more of Green Bell Peppers, seeded and very coarsely chopped Oil if you need a bit to start the cooking In a large heavy skillet or on a large flat grill, fry the sausage over medium-low heat, covered until it releases some of its own fat. When the sausage releases some grease, push the sausage to the side and fry the peppers and onions, tossing to coat with the fat. This gets the sausage flavor through the vegetables. Continue to cook all of it low and slow. It is very important that nothing blackens. When the sausage is done through, and the peppers and onions are thoroughly cooked, soft with no crunch at all, serve the sausage on rolls or buns topped with the cooked onions and peppers plus yellow mustard if desired.

For each serving carefully fill a large funnel with batter or use one of the bottom-pouring pitchers used for degreasing hot stock. If using a funnel, place one finger over the hole in the bottom. Over the hot oil, carefully remove your finger from the funnel, letting the batter run out into the hot oil. As it leaves the funnel make circular shapes with the batter. For best results contain the spread of the shape inside a metal ring set on the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute, then using tongs, turn to cook the other side until it’s all golden brown, about another minute or so. Drain on paper towels and add topping. You serve these warm topped with a dusting of powdered sugar or canned cherry pie filling, apple pie filling or vanilla ice cream.

Here are just a few hints to sell yourself better. Do you understand what that person really wants? Whatever that is, price is a factor, so start with the packages you offer. When I was working, I had a sheet showing high-end, mid-range and low-end packages, and discussed the prices I could offer last. Explain what goes into your pricing. After you touch on your labor, materials, travel and the like it may change their perspective. Remember to listen and draw out what matters most to them in conversation. Even if their budget is lower than your prices, you might upsell them on things that are important to them. Keep your online presence consistent. Your social media, your printed materials and your website all must be kept updated and have your phone and email address on every page. How often I’ve seen a restaurant online without any idea of their address or phone number until I’ve searched to find it. I don’t want to look for an “about us” page, I want to see it right there. Do them a favor, if you can. That’s why you sometimes get free labels in the mail from charities looking for a donation. That increases the likelihood that you’ll see the charity in a favorable light. Offer them a coffee, a ticket, an introduction, whatever you can think of. But be careful. Professionals may evaluate a full performance of yours and see it as a confident sample and be moved to respond. But the public, who can’t offer you anything but a single day’s work, if they see it once they won’t want to see it again. Make the other party see you as an authority. Find ideas you can support to do that, either recommendations from those who support you or recommendations from people you’ve worked for in the past. What you can do, for the general public and for professionals, is create a video highlight reel, and put that on Youtube. Horizontal video, 360p is enough, and don’t make it too long, two minutes should be plenty, to give them a sample just enough to leave them wanting more. Then embed that on your website. Youtube has an easy process for getting the link (here’s the Youtube studio link) to embed those videos (and be sure to write that down so you can share it.) It’s all free and it’s easy to do, you don’t even need special software. With this, your special qualities can be easily seen and shared. And don’t forget to update it to keep your content fresh! Budgets are flexible. These people think first about price because they’re trying to understand if you fit their budget. Give them the knowledge they need and you’ll be their friend, especially if at a strategic point you become a little flexible on your end, so build some price flexibility into your plan … you know, sir, I could consider this lower price just once, the first time. I hope this makes your negotiating skill a little sharper. You deserve what you’re really worth, and I hope this helps you actually get it.
