印度客户想赖账，我该怎么办？
正文翻译
I am from the USA. I feel like I don't understand customers from India. Is this a cultural thing? How do I deal with this without losing my cool?
我来自美国。我觉得我不了解来自印度的客户。这是文化问题吗? 我该如何不失冷静的处理这件事呢?
I give them my price for the work and they all say they need a discount so they can talk their business partner into buying. There is always some "other person" they have to consult with and blame for the reason they have to pay less money.
我给他们报了价，他们都说需要折扣，这样他们就可以说服他们的商业伙伴购买。为了支付较少费用，他们总有一些“其他人”需要咨询，或者作为指责对象。

I work on computers. I'm from the USA and I charge USA rates for my work. Recently I have had several customers (about 5) from India ask me to help them fix website issues.
我此事电脑方面的工作。我来自美国，我按美国价格收取工作费用。最近，有几个来自印度的客户(大约5个)要求我帮助他们解决网站问题。

Then I give a little discount and we agree on the price. OK... no problem. Then I do the job and half the time they say they had some unexpected tragedy in their life and they ask if I will accept 50% of the money ... and they say things like, "I'm sure you understand." Even after they pay in advance, they ask for half the money back, and at the same time they acknowledge the good work I did.
然后我给他们打了个折，我们对价格达成了一致。好的……没问题。然后我做了这份工作，期间有一半的时间，他们说他们在生活中遇到了一些意想不到的悲剧，他们问我是否愿意接受50%的钱……他们会说:“我相信你能理解。”甚至在他们提前付款后，他们还会要求退还一半的钱，同时他们也承认我做得很好。

Hike price and offer 50% discount. If they counter with sob story and ask for money back, then throw your own sob story of how you already used the money to pay your house loan or something.
提价并提供五折优惠。如果他们用催人泪下的故事来反驳你，要你把钱还回去，那你就用你自己的催人泪下的故事，说你已经用这些钱来还房贷了。

The workaround with bargaining in many newer stores in India is that they hang a "Fixed Price" signboard on shops if the shopkeeper doesn't like to bargain. In case the customer wants to bargain the shopkeeper tells the customer that we are providing these items/ services already at a special or discounted rate just for you and hence the rate is fixed.
在印度，如果店主不喜欢讨价还价，许多新商店应付讨价还价的变通办法是，他们会在商店上贴上“不讲价”的招牌。如果顾客想讨价还价，店主告诉顾客，我们已经在为你提供特价或打折的商品/服务，因此不讲价。

Initial negotiation is common. But one both the parties have agreed on a price and their start renegotiating, do these above things
最初的协商很常见。但如果双方已经就价格达成一致，他们又开始讨价还价，那么就做以上这些事情。

Yes, hiking price and offering discount is the best way to deal with us. We Indians have the mentality that we have to have the best deal possible. Like we want the cake and eat it too. When we bargain we have this sense that we get back something even when we are spending on something we need. Its tricky to explain, think of it like never having the short end of the stick.
是的，提高价格并给出折扣是和我们印度人做生意的最好办法。我们印度人的心态是，我们必须尽可能达成最好的协议。就像我们想吃蛋糕就吃一样。当我们讨价还价时，我们会有这样的感觉，即使我们是在买我们需要的东西。这很难解释，我觉得是“永远不吃亏”的心态。

How can I set boundaries with Indian customers that will be culturally sensitive?
You don't have to be polite about it. Say it's firm, standard rate, may be have a document/table with your rates so it doesn't seem "flexible".
Always get payment in advance (this really goes for any international online transaction) and show them the terms and conditions if they ask for money back.
I think you can be professional about it without being rude.
你不必客气。直接说“这是固定价”或者“标准收费”，可能再给他看个你报价的文件/表格，让报价看起来不“灵活”。
一定要提前付款(这适用于任何国际在线交易)，如果他们要求退款，就向他们展示条款和条件。
我觉得你可以做到专业而不粗鲁。

Yes, all the prices quoted in Indian market are inflated so that there's some room for negotiation. I hate this since I don't like negotiating too much but if I don't, I'll be paying a premium. This is also tough for people who quote actual price as customers will assume it to be the inflated price.
There's an internal policy in my company that the final prices should not be same as the initial quote. Procurement team has to publish Intial Quote and reduced Final Quote before releasing the order. Pretty stupid. We lost a fantastic vendor, US based, who refused to negotiate the price even though the solution matched our exact requirement.
是的，印度市场上所有东西的价格都偏高，所以还有商量的余地。我讨厌这一点，因为我不喜欢太多的讨价还价，但如果我不这样做，我将支付溢价。报实价的人也很难办，因为客户还是会认为价格注了水。
我们公司有个内部政策，最终的价格不能和最初的报价一样。采购团队必须在发出订单前公布初始报价和降低的最终报价。很愚蠢。我们失去了一个很棒的供货商，来自美国，他拒绝讨价还价，尽管解决方案完全符合我们的要求。

Very true. But I hate when this happens, like things are actually very cheap but people hike up the price and try to sell. I find it a waste of time to haggle.
As a solution I've stopped buying from such shops and instead go to shop where the fixed price is written on the product. If it is affordable then I look t it, if not then I just go to some other shop or section.
非常真实。不过我不喜欢这种情况，本来很便宜的东西，但人们却提高价格，还想卖掉。我觉得讨价还价是浪费时间。
作为一个解决方案，我已经停止从这种商店购买，而是把固定价格写在产品上的商店。如果价格合理，我就去找，如果价格不合理，我就去其他商店或区域买。

Everyone loves bargains and discounts. That's why at most stores in the US, items are labeled with the original price struck out right above the discounted price. It gives the impression of a bargain.
Stores send out discount coupons regularly for the same reason.
每个人都喜欢便宜货和折扣。这就是为什么在美国的大多数商店里，商品的标价都在折扣价之上。这给人一种讨价还价的感觉。
商店也会出于同样的原因定期发放折扣券。

I wouldn't deny there aren't people like that ,there are, but its a number game since such a huge population, our 20% ppl like these seem to be too many, sorry for your experience. Also bargaining is an indian thing, they will take price and ask 2 or 3 ppl,which seems fair, but not the bit about not paying in full discussed amount and asking for money back, thats just wrong. You can maybe mention before ,there are no refunds or doscounts once the deal is done and payment in full in advance.
我不否认有这样的人，确实有，但这是一个数字游戏，因为如此庞大的人口，即使有20%这样的人，都似乎太多了，抱歉你有这种经历。讨价还价也是印度人一个特点，他们会拿着报价，去问2/3个人，这似乎是公平的，但全额支付后要求退款想都不要想，这是错误的。你也许可以事先提出一旦交易完成不退款或打折，并且全额预付。

It seems like they're just trying their luck. People who actually don't have money will never pay in full up front. There is no way those people actually need that refund/rebate.
In any case, if you are worried about coming off as too confrontational, just tell them you can't do anything about this time but you'll give them a better rate for the next bit of work they give you (even if you don't intend to). That at least buys you some time and breathing space till you have to negotiate with them again. Also, come up with bullshit lies about how refunding their money would be tax fraud and you don't want to get in trouble with authorities.
看起来他们只是在碰运气。实际上没有钱的人永远不会提前全额付款。这些人不可能真的需要退款/折扣。
在任何情况下，如果你担心会被认为太过强势，就告诉他们你这次无能为力，但你会在他们给你的下一项工作中给他们一个更好的报价(即使你不打算这么做)。这至少为你赢得了一些时间和喘息的空间，直到你不得不再次与他们谈判。此外，可以编一些扯谎，说退钱是税务欺诈，你可不想惹上当局的麻烦。

Same for developers even working in India for Indian clients.
Charge 50% advance, 30% on demo, and 20% on delivery.
Make sure that 50% + 30% makes at least 90% of what you must need for the job to be done.
If they do not agree, pass on the opportunity because the struggle is not worth it.
对于在印度为印度客户工作的开发者来说也是如此。
预付50%，演示时收取30%，交货时收取20%。
确保这50% + 30%的收益至少达到完成工作所需的90%。
如果他们不同意，放弃这个机会，因为不值得费这种劲。

I would suggest, you quote a fixed price and get the payment as an advance before you start the work.
If you are worried about reviews, you can always counteract bad reviews with the facts. People do spot the bad reviews which are intentional and not factual.
Do not hike your price and offer a discount, because the serious buyers would feel it is not professional.
My view on this as an Indian living in India.
我建议，你们在开始工作之前，先报一个固定的价格，然后拿到预付款。
如果你担心评论，你总是可以用事实来抵消糟糕的评论。人们确实会发现那些故意的、不真实的差评。
不要提高价格，并给折扣，因为认真的买家会觉得这是不专业的。
这是我作为一个生活在印度的印度人对此的看法。

To be honest, it’s gonna be quite hard for clients based in India to mentally justify the price given the dollar to rupee conversion. For example a decent web developer in the US might charge about $30/hr but 3 hours of that and that’s the monthly salary for many web developers based in India. So my suggestion is unless you are desperate for customers or if you know for sure that a particular client will pay big bucks avoid Indian clients.
I have nothing against them, I’m a developer based in India and I wouldn’t take up work from clients in Bangladesh because they have developers working there paid monthly what I make weekly. Just differences in economy. There are exceptions to the rule but this will check out in most cases.
老实说，对于印度的客户来说，考虑到美元兑换卢比的汇率，他们很难在心理上相信这个价格是合理的。例如，在美国，一个优秀的网页开发者可能会收取30美元/小时的费用，但3个小时的费用，这是许多印度网页开发者的月薪。所以我的建议是，除非你非常需要客户，或者你确定某个客户会花大钱，否则不要去找印度客户。
我并不反对他们，我是一名印度开发者，我不会接受孟加拉国客户的工作，因为有开发者在那里工作，他们的月薪和我的周薪一样高。只是经济方面的不同。这个规则也有例外，但大多数情况下都是这样的。

I think so too... when I quote prices to Indian customers, I was quoting the lowest I was able to because I was worried I would not get jobs for being too high... Like I would do 10 hours of work for $200 instead of the $500 I would have charged US customer... and still they want less and less. I think I have learned my lesson. Now I will still try to give a little better price but I will be firm and just stop worrying they will say no. Money up front. I think it has to be this way.
我也这么认为……当我向印度客户报价时，我报的是我所能报的最低价格，因为我担心我会因为价格太高而得不到那项工作……比如，我愿意花200美元做10个小时的工作，而不是向对待美国客户那样收取500美元。但他们依然想更低更低。我想我已经吸取教训了。现在我还是会尽量给个好一点的价格，但我会很坚定，不要担心他们会说不。先款后货。我认为必须这样做。

It's not about their financial condition.
It's just a mental block.l
A guy earning 20G a month could face.
Coz in their head even if they earn in dollars, they spend in rupees.
For example, an average house rent at Manhattan or Brooklyn would be $2000 / month, but thats 1.5lakh rupees, which is the average YEARLY salary for majority of families in India
So even if your rates are reasonable but when they convert the currency value, they get cautious about the price
这与他们的财务状况无关。
只是心理障碍。
即便一个月挣20万，也可能有这种问题。
因为在他们的头脑中，即使他们赚的是美元，他们花的也是卢比。
例如，曼哈顿或布鲁克林的平均房租是每月2000美元，但这是15万卢比，相当于印度大多数家庭的平均年薪。
所以即使你的报价是合理的，但当他们换算货币时，他们也会对那个价格持谨慎态度。

I do freelance work with Indian clients. You have to be firm on price and not offer discounts. In the short term you may loose a few clients, trust me it is not worth the headache. In longterm you'll get good clients who will be willing to pay for the quality work.
Be firm, be polite and professional in your conversations. Have a signed agreement with clear terms before you start the work.
I take 50% advance and finish 70 - 80% of the work and do a review with client. I'll start rest of the work only once full payment is made. I put this down in my agreement too. Put down dates for work and payments completion.
I take full administrative control over the website so I have leverage in case things go wrong.
我为印度客户做自由职业。你必须坚持价格，不能打折。短期内你可能会失去一些客户，相信我，不值得为此头疼。长期来看，你会得到愿意为高质量的工作付费的好客户。
在谈话中要坚定、礼貌和专业。在开始工作之前，要签署一份条款明确的协议。
我会预支50%的费用，完成70 - 80%的工作，并与客户进行评估。只有客户全部付款，我才会开始剩下的工作。我也把这个写在协议里了。写下完成工作和付款的日期。
我对网站有完全的管理控制权，所以万一出了问题，我也有筹码。

Are these indian fellas in the USA?
Tell them you dont own the company and its run by a bunch of retired attorneys who charge clients $400 an hour and most likely they will file charges for non payment. Remind them that this will fuck up their credit history and they will need to find $300 an hour lawyers atleast to fight the case.
Your indian customers will clench their ass, put down the money and fuck off.
