If you do it correctly, you will mostly lose potential clients that
you don't want anyways.   This might be a bit off topic, but if you
are selling business to business services don't you want to deal with
real business people?  I can tell you that any one that has been in
business for long will understand this.  Your pricing has nothing to
do with it, unless that's all you know how to compete on, but that's
another issue altogether.
