I don't feel that Pam was mean or misleading. She just stated that you gave her a quote to come out and do an estimate/consult. If you are new here it will be difficult to expand or create your business if you charge by the minute, so to speak.
I realize that running around doing free estimates does not generate living income, but perhaps a modification that you charge for the estimate to cover your time accordingly, and refund the fee after signing contract at first billing, or reduce your consultation fee as it appears to some that you charge out 400.00 an hour. Way too expensive for this neck of the woods.
