Pro tip: Clients love the idea of custom work until they hear the price.
I've seen a trend where people get excited about custom pieces but balk at the cost.

Honestly, breaking down the quote line by line is the only thing that works for me now. I list every material, the hours for sourcing, the design time, and even build in two rounds of revisions. It shows them the price isn't just for the final object, it's for all the invisible work and stress. When they see "15 hours for custom design and client communication" right there on paper, it clicks way more often.

That 15 hours for design and client talk is smart to list. Some folks might actually see that number and think it's too high though. You gotta be ready for them to question every single line item.
