Hello all members.
Recently I had an idea to start working as freelance(please don't think as pro or anything like that). I printed some of my good shots with cars and some interior snaps. Friends said that I should try to go to businesses and offer them my work as they enjoy looking at my album. Well I'm having meeting tomorrow with local shop. I would say that I'm ready for talk, but I have no idea how to work out the prices. It might be to awkward to think that I'll pass meeting with smile on his face, but still have to be positive. Problem is that I have no idea what to say if he'll be happy to have me taking shots for their company. Specially if they have in stock big number of cars. If someone been working in such a field I'll be very happy to hear any tips about it.
Thanks

last time enquired about a job like that the pay was 30gbp per dealer visit.to my knowledge there are 2 national companies that do this kind of work & they regularly advertise for togs.

hope that helps

I think Autotrader pay £8 per picture, not really worth getting out of bed for when you take off your expenses.

Well question is if they working with small businesses, like private owners. Problem is that I'm going to local Vauxhall's, and they got circa around hundred cars in stock, so 30gbp per car dealer, well hell no. I just wonder how much these companies are getting paid for job done.
