<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have set an invoice system up that "discounts
prices" when their invoice is paid within fifteen days from the date of
billing/job completion.I also include a payment plan on the invoice for amounts
that run over 45 days, (just as you see on your utility and credit card
bills!). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I raised my base price to accommodate this and
then discount at 20% of that. It works great for Churches, Schools and
Theatres. And yes, occasionally they are extremely late and pay at the
higher rate which after a time of that, it seems they definitely like to be very
timely on their future payments. My customers who call to ask for my rates over
the phone I tell them I have a "on time " price and a billing price for those
who wish to delay payments. This works excellent for the customers that don't
think they will be home when the work is done as they are very obliging to leave
a check!</FONT></DIV>
