If you say the project will be 50 000$ and plan to lower it to 30 000$ later on and competitor offers it for 30 000$ first time, the client won't even consider your offer.

I don't think it's the golden rule. Maybe doing so to an extent would be worth it. In other words, extend the deadline or delivery date a little to give yourself some leeway. Sometimes, things happen beyond our control and when we say it will be there on Friday and it ends up there on Saturday, we may not have been in control of that. I think the best policy is to be as honest as possible. Even though you are trying to offer better service, you are not. You are lying to your customers. It's still a type of false advertisement. Think about the reaction customers will have when they find out about such practices (and they will find out). They will feel scammed and duped by another business. If you ask me, honesty is the best policy. Don't bite off more than you can chew and don't use a smoke screen. Just deliver the product, whatever it may be, in a timely fashion and in good condition. These are your customers, not pawns. I think this will only achieve so much. I don’t think it’s the golden rule. Maybe doing so to an extent would be worth it.

It goes a long way in wowing the customer and also adds a layer of protection in case there are delays or problems on my end. I always under-promise and over-deliver.

It seems as though companies love to over-sell in order to get customers in. In competitive markets, under-promising is easier said than done. Not many companies exceed client expectations today.
