edelske	Posted - 09/22/2011 : 08:56:36 AM If you know and trust em to pay - fine. If you don't simply require payment in advance to your PayPal account. I receive about HALF of my payments that way. If it's a "cold call" and distant - it's "pay up front" or they can find someone else. If you don't have a PayPal account you are missing out on jobs that would be both accepted by you and paid in advance. Your only "out of pocket" expense is the approx. 3% fee taken out by PayPal. I find is especially useful when someone calls and "does not like the fee" - says they will "shop around". Half an hour they call back to book the job. THAT type of situation is always pay in advance. I know they will be spending the time I am "in transit" looking for a lower price and often cancel out if they find 5$ cheaper. Once the job has been paid for - they don't do that. Kenneth A Edelstein Mobile Notary, Apostille / Legalization Processing & Fingerprinting http://www.kenneth-a-edelstein.com
rwedertz	Posted - 09/13/2011 : 11:20:18 PM Jenny - I like you, have been in the business (for 12 years) and I got tired of collections a long time ago, so I made some changes. I don't just work for anybody that calls me. I have a set clientele, and once in a while if I feel like gambling, I accept business from a new caller. Before I sign I check them out on this site and two others. Three sites give me a pretty good sketch of the potential client. If there are a lot of bad responses, I call them back and tell them No Deal. By this time you should have established a regular set of clients to work for (hopefully). If you keep accepting work without checking our your customer, then unfortunately, you will keep getting taken advantage of.
