Many clients don’t accept the first meeting quote a provider states. That’s the client’s right, and it’s the provider’s right (and the client’s) to say “no thanks we aren’t a match” or suggest different compensation.
Discussing and agreeing upon compensation, time, etc is negotiating. Not “bargaining” or “haggling” but fairly normal practice.
It’s also been noted many, many times here in the forum that that full/high price does not equate to an excellent visit experience.
