Have you had any clients not work with you because of the full up front payment requirement? Though I guess that would be a good indicator for problems in the future. I am thinking of switching to this for one of my current clients.
- bdunn 14y agoI've only had issues with one client, who is a national non-profit with procurement, etc. The risk for the client is that you'll flake out. If you have a track record of being reliable (When I'm subbing out work, reliability and professionalism > technical capacity in most cases) then there's really no reason you shouldn't be getting prepaid work. You're the one at risk. You risk losing the time spent working, which is non-renewable.
- sneak 14y agoOne time I had a potential client balk at my $50 late fee (applied instantly, then 10% per month interest on unpaid balances) during initial contract negotiation. It wasn't the interest that bothered them, but the $50. I was quoting a $10,000 project. I didn't call them back.
