Do you want a discount with that?
I've talked before of the problem with many businesses of not getting the cash in the door quickly enough.
We generally ask for 50% deposit on most work, with the balance on completion. I've been thinking of always asking for 100% upfront and providing a decent discount if the client chooses that option.
But I hadn't done that regularly as yet.
But I will from now on
I gave a client a quote. Usual terms of 50% upfront.
"Can I pay 100% upfront and get a discount?" she asked.
Yes, she could. I've finally implemented that strategy with a gentle shove by my client.
Cashflow is critical for all businesses. Can you use that strategy?
You'll never know if it works until you ask your client.
