Someone asked what your work costs. You heard an attack.
So you did what most builders do. You explained your process. Listed your tools. Offered a discount nobody requested. The buyer watched you argue with a question.
Here is what "how much?" means: they are picturing themselves paying you. People do not ask the price of things they have decided against.

Silence costs nothing. A question costs effort.
Four questions signal a buyer, not a critic:
"How much is it?" They are checking if the picture in their head fits their wallet.
"How long does it take?" They are scheduling you into their calendar.
"Does this work for someone like me?" They want permission to believe it.
"When could we start?" A yes wearing a question mark.
Poker taught me this one. Nobody asks about the size of a pot they folded. The players asking questions are still in the hand.
The mistake is answering a buying question with a defense. Someone asks the price, and you respond with a justification, a cost breakdown, a "but I can be flexible." Now you have taught them the number was soft before anyone pushed on it.
A question means they are still in the room. Answer the question they asked. Nothing more.
If price questions make your stomach drop, the Pricing Confidence Playbook was built for exactly this moment.
