Has a client ever said they can't pay a deposit because they do net-30 payments? I can, with 100% certainty, tell you that they can absolutely move that money into your bank account within 24 hours if they need to. All say when this happens is: I totally understand, l'il go ahead and invoice you now and we can get started in 30 days when the payment is processed. If they protest and say there's nothing they can do about their policy, I very cordially say understand and there's nothing I can do about mine. 9 times out of 10 that money magically gets transferred. Now, if you know, love, and trust a longtime client, you may want to assess how strift you are here. But for first or second time clients, this is a must. You're not in the business of loaning your clients money, and that's exactly what you're doing when you get started without a deposit. #freelancer #TalkToClents #freeiancing #selfemployed #buisness #entrepreneurlife
