Since they don't mention this in school: you can ask for the budget. People will routinely disclose it to you. Sales folks get good at doing this without anyone getting the impression they're being rude, partially because this isn't rude and partially because delivery matters.https://twitter.com/FreelanceWars/status/1029014684161196032 …

"But what if the budget is lower than my number?" You avoid compromising on the rate, and instead tell the client that the thing they want is actually
$FOO, but that your menu includes e.g. downscoped versions which they'd also get value from, including at least one in budget.Show this thread -
You can also (advanced tactic) ask how the budget was arrived upon and what they need from you to get this moved into another budget, rebudgeted, etc.

I suspect this is a case where it doesn’t matter how you ask for it if it’s definitely available. But if it’s NOT available (immediately or at all), then the way you ask probably matters a lot. Could either induce them to go get it or gracefully decline to share.
