Ghosted. Stiffed. Screwed over. Played.

I've heard dozens of stories of unpaid invoices sitting in unchecked inboxes of businesses that may or may not come out the other side.

Clients are ghosting mid project leaving business owners with a half finished product and unbilled hours. Promises that payment will come as 'soon as we can' pour out like Friday night wine.

Rona is definetly the cause of many of these scenarios but this is nothing new. Now is the time to reasses your payment terms and processes.

Think about it. You hire a business coach, when do you pay? Up front 💸

Take your car to get fixed? No cash, no car 🙄

If getting paid up front makes you uncomfortable then:

• Make sure you have control of the deliverables. Ownership of assets transfers with payment.

• Have a clear services contract detailing exactly what you AND the client are handling, what's not included, date of delivery and more.

• Take a deposit. You can provide free value on your discovery call, but a signed contract and cash in hand starts the project.

While this all may sound a little sterile and cold, it's smart business that can be streamlined into a pretty CRM like honeybook or dubsado. A beautiful proposal followed up by a contract and invoice on auto pilot.

Guess what? That type of efficiency is appealing to your client. It means you've done this before, you value their time and you don't waste time on paper pushing.

You spend time delivering your amazing coaching, course or photography skills.

What business processes do you need to tidy up a little in your biz?

I know taxes are low priority on the 'rona lockdown list.
