Bad Night Collecting

yer i know, but thats all part of business. for an example, i could walk into jewson in the morning and order £2000 worth of stuff, being a trade account holder i wont need to pay that till the end of september. if 30 trade customers did the same thats £60,000 they are not gettin till end of september, but in that time there still is all the monthy bills to go out.
Having a trade account at a retailers is total different from window cleaning lol

 
i know it is, but the basic's of it is the same.

you do the work and dont get paid for a month, but you still have to payout on bills. at least window cleaning isnt like a 9-5 job, only get paid at the end of the month after working all month for nothing!

 
If a customer pays double next time they will feel a bigger hole in their pocket then before /emoticons/smile.png

 
i generally end up with double on the 2nd clean, so it all works out, if its a bad day for catching people in i might pop back that evening, but i dont like feeling like im hassling customers for 7/8quid, the times iv gone collecting iv found its more stress then its worth

Truee just remember to yourself they arent going to run away /emoticons/tongue.png lol

 
I'm lucky and don't collect. If customers are out I leave them a note asking them to post me a cheque, pay via BACS or pay me next time I see them in the local pub!
