[QUOTE="Munkul, post: 6977163, member: 73308"] Have you ever heard the saying "pick your customers, or your customers will pick you instead"? Meaning that to be a successful business, you have to try and steer it towards the good customers that you want to work for, and avoid the bad ones as much as possible. Get bills out promptly, whatever, and put a 30 day payment term on. Any good customer will pay promptly, and anyone who hasn't paid within 30 days... will at least be on your radar for next time... I could not understand our silage contractor last year... we asked him for a bill after 1st cut... nothing. Then after 2nd cut... nothing. Then after 3rd cut and wholecrop, he stings us for the whole lot, in October which was quite painful and NOT when we wanted money going out. [/QUOTE]
