i have to go and collect, a few pay via paypal, others even seemed surprised when i collect, even after putting a slip in when ive cleaned them, they either forget or there partners put slip in bin and forgot, sometimes when they owe twice and they forget, thats the hardest part, getting them to pay up twice when they were expecting to pay for just one clean,
i tell them to put it on callendar.
Got a couple now wanting to stop for winter, its a good job everyone dosent think that way. when i get more work in the areas near them ones, i very rarelly take them back on.
i just tell them ive picked up more reliable work, thankyou goodbye.
unless there nice looking
round software my friend!sorts any customers out who owe 2 or 3 cleans.i print a statement of account and post it through their door when cleaning/collecting .SAE/BACS.
I COLLECT ABOUT 3 TO 4 HOURS A MONTH.a lot less than i used to.
ANY CUSTOMERS WHO PAY BY BACS/SAE WHO HAVENT PAID AFTER 14 DAYS OF LAST CLEAN GET A TEXT REMINDER!
i find collecting is good for cashflow and gives me chance to keep good customer relations.good for very compact estate work.within an hour im coming home with £250-£300 in cash which is an instant boost to keeping down my debtlist with cheques dropping on my mat/BACS transfers throughout the week.
works well for me at the moment.
