What happens if you win a contract, but your lowest-bidding subcontractor backs out? You don’t panic—you negotiate. Here’s the strategy: 🔹 Let’s say you got a $1,000 quote, doubled it, and won the contract for $2,000. But now your sub backs out. 🔹 Your next sub quoted $3,000—but instead of asking for another quote, you call them and say: “Hey, we have the contract. We’re starting Monday. This is what we can pay—$1,500.” 📌 When you have the award letter, it’s a different conversation. You’re not asking—you’re offering. 8 times out of 10, the sub will adjust their pricing and take the job. This is how you stay in control and make contracts work in your favor. Master the game, and you’ll never stress over a sub backing out again.
