pay you later

[David Renaud]

I have many commercial clients I bill once every
few months, and some once a year. For me this 
has several benefits. 

1) Collecting one bill, depositing one bill,  
   accounting one bill is less administration
   then 12 bills; and I despise administration.

2) A half dozen big annual bills makes a nice summer
vacation pay lump sum.

3) Without saying a word, the clients know not 
by words but by action that I am really busy, 
and not just "surviving" in the business month
to month.

4) I have had very little problems with this.
I have to admit change of management at a casino,
and their inability to send a check for 9 months
after I billed them was rather annoying, but I 
did, and always have been paid by these commercial
clients.

5) I show trust in them, they show trust in me.
I recommend some work, they do it with no sense
of "selling" them anything. They know I don't
need more work, and if I am requesting a budget
for something, it is because it is a real need.

  Occasionally someone can't find a check book,
or the right person is not home, and I have always
received the check in the mail. Once in 25 years it
failed, and I lost the money. A lady on welfare, 
with a sick child, and clearly struggling. Oh well,
its bound to happen sometime, somewhere no matter
how careful we are. Move on, not worth the stress, 
and I have better things to do then chase a  
despondent lady over $95.

                              
                          My Opinion on this
                          Cheers
