job invoices?

[Ray T. Bentley]

Terry,

For most home customers, I leave them a business card with the date of the
tuning, and they hand me a check.  That's it.  Many times I have asked if
they would like a receipt, and almost 100 per cent say they don't want or
need one.  For piano teachers or other professionals for whom their piano
tuning is a tax deduction for them, I hand write and sign a receipt from a
pad similar to the one that you use.  I do the same for church tunings and
leave it with the secretary on the spot.  For commercial accounts (stores
and colleges), I prepare a professional statement on my letterhead stored in
my computer and mail it to them.  Sometimes a emailed attachment of my
letterhead is acceptable, even preferred!  But for most people, they don't
care whether they have an invoice to throw away or not!

FWIW.  Just do whatever works for you and your clients.

Ray
