F.W.I.W. I don't require signatures for my projects and have rarely been burned. I do type up a proposal with exact specs and pricing so there's no misunderstandings. Plus I usually ask for a deposit for anything over $1K. Otherwise I'm proud to say we successfully operate on trust and a handshake. It's not that hard if you do what you say you're going to. |
YOu are running a great business buddy. I started working for myself since my second year of college and have been burned a total of four times.
One was a very dear friend's sister that had no freaking backbone another time was the
PR person for Tom Cruise and many other big name mucky mucks. She was a total looser who lives in a 3 million dollar home that over looks the Getty, but decides to burn us for 7 grand. A couple of people here know me and have continue to use our service from far corners of the country with a hand shake and paper work keeps the misunderstanding from happening like you said. As funny as it might sound, they keep shoving money my way (I am very thankful for that
) before the due date. Damn Porsche owners have too much money.
I know of a couple of young guys in their late twenties that are also outstanding and I wouldn't think twice about doing business with them. Good people are still around, and will continue to do well because of their honest ethics. They are out there.
