Ideas into Reality

​Client is paying for 100 but only wants 50.

My client is paying for my services, which includes research and survey, but he just wants me to follow his sketch.

I’m a Logo and graphics designer and i have been designing logos for some time now, For the standard package my process starts with initial research, followed by survey, AB testing and then i deliver the first draft.

This client purchased my premium package, which includes all the steps stated above, and also some other stuff, but after our zoom call, he shares a sketch and tells me to make an identical logo, so out goes the research and survey part. he also doesn’t want the other stuff that comes with this package.

I have no problems doing that but this can be done for like 20 usd on fiverr, why would he pay 300 usd for this (the package he bought costs 300 and includes brand guidelines, stationary and social media, while i also pitched the basic package which is 150 and only includes a logo).

I dont know if he wasn’t paying attention, or may he just didn’t hear that part ? I thought i should clarify this, but my fiancee told me to just do what he said and take the money. I really dont want to charge my clients for work not done.

What should i do ? I started freelancing only a few years ago, and i haven’t faced a scenario like this, so i would appreciate hearing what you would do.

EDIT : ok, so I’m charging so low because I had been out of business to take care of my disabled step mom, I just started again after 2 years only a few months ago after she died. I’m doing this promotion to attract some clients. Normally, I would charge like 2500 usd for this.
