Hey guys, up until about a year ago I would never expect any money from a customer until after the work was done.
I got burned a few times and now I ask customers if they would mind paying half before I start the work and the other half on completion.
So far, no one has complained and they understand completely ... but I still feel awful asking for the downpayment. Whenever I have to say it my voice gets low and I am very uncomfortable...I feel like I am doing something wrong.
*sigh* my wife says "I'm nuts!" but that's another story.
Ha ha!
What do you guys think...anyone else feel like this? Do you require the same??
Thanks guys.
Kerry.
