I certainly have experienced the situation that you are describing, where I managed to do tons of D.I.Y. jobs around the house when I really didn't want to call the insurance people because I was sure I'd missed the deadline, but...
I'm not sure I understand why you are requiring a deposit. Is it just to ramp up the "must do this"-ness of the task?
Scenario 1: Your customer wants a huge task so they can avoid it and do lots of other little tasks. - Effective cost: $550 for big task.
Scenario 2: Your customer wants to get good at actually doing tasks. - Effective cost $50 for big task.
Your deposit rewards actually getting tasks done. Is that what you're trying to achieve?
- bjenik 13y agoI came across this problem, too. The problem is when there is no penalty for not doing the task there is no incentive to do it at all. The idea is that the big task could be done in some crazy last minute rush to save the money - with having done a lot of other things before.
