I found this on a small business blog last week. It was a survey from a group that helps freelancers. That number is just crazy to me. It means more than half of us are waiting on money from three months ago. I always thought my two or three slow payers were just bad luck. Now I see it's a huge problem for everyone. How do you handle a client who hits that 90 day mark without paying?
I've been relying on email for years, but lately clients just don't respond. Started picking up the phone again, and it's shocking how much faster things move. Anyone else seeing this trend?
I made a logo for a small startup, and they said it was perfect for their launch. Now I'm checking my bank account daily and getting no replies to my invoices. Any tips for when a client just goes silent like this?
I always avoided templates, worried they were too generic. Trying one brought in a payment right away! Now it's my first step for late accounts.
It's putting a real strain on my small team's budget. We're now requiring a deposit before starting any new work.
