With any new client, I'm not totally relaxed until I've been paid that first time. To mitigate that stress, I take a deep breath and negotiate for smaller checks, earlier and more frequently. This way even the clients who flake out don't do as much damage.
- datashovel 12y agoGood point. I luckily didn't come away completely empty handed. So far I've received probably a little more than 50% billed. Even still, a company's inability to pay that amount owed is pretty "bottom of the barrel" if you ask me. My hunch is they'll be out of business before they're able to finish paying. Which may be a good thing.
