I can't claim spineyness because it wasn't a situation that called for me to stick to my guns with a low-baller. In this case, it was just a job posted with one of those annoying price ranges and my quote was at the high end of the range because that's what I felt it was worth.
Here's the feedback I received from the guy who hired me: "Lee was a godsend for us voicing a promo script for a book about how New Orleans celebrated the Super Bowl Saints. He came in at the top end of the price range submitted by 20-plus respondents to our project, but there was never any doubt, based on his bang-on reading of our audition script, that he was our guy."
Apparently not everybody is looking to hire the lowest bidder, even on the P2P sites.

I'd say this qualifies as spine. You knew what you were worth and didn't let the budget range undervalue you. Kudos.

Quality will always win out with a quality producer. Nicely done, on several levels, Lee!

And thank you for sharing their feedback. It is a example of Spine In Action.
