We love Go Cardless
« on: August 24, 2016, 03:51:46 pm »
We have only been using Go Cardless since April and as of today have 1001 customers now using it.

I think its a fantastic system and it really is transforming my business. I love the email just before 4pm each day that tells me how much money has just dropped into the bank account.

If your not using it yet you should look into it. Hoping to reach 2000 users by the end of the year.

We have been using Go Cardless for a few years now...

It's good to see other companies catching up.

Approaching 50% of customers on it. Had a real big push this last few weeks. Seen another 39 sign up. Love it.

Maybe, just maybe, you will come on here one day and offer some useful advice  without feeling the need to big yourself up, you seem to have built up a very good business, I applaud you for that, but sometimes modesty goes a long way. Just saying.

Sorry KS but I think you're being very harsh here and just doing a bit of Lee Pryor bashing as so many seem to enjoy on this forum.

He's advising people who have never used it to look into it and stating what a great collection system it is. Blowing his own trumpet slightly but I'm sure you would too if you had a business of his size.

101 customers on GoCardless. Nice!

Now if you'd said 1,000 then I wouldve agreed with what the others are thinking. Let's be honest, no-one likes a bragger anyway. Keep up the good work Lee. Let us know when you get to 200.

Believe me I have had every opportunity to have a business his size (as a lot of window cleaners will have done)  Over the years I have sold thousands of pounds worth of work , work that would have made my business bigger had I wanted , at  one point I had 4 employees plus myself on the windows , but never at any point did I look down on anyone who decided they preferred to be a one man band.

I am simply giving my opinion on what a great system it is and showing its possible to convert a lot of customers in a short period of time.

Oh I could have done this, I could have done that....... if I wanted to, but I didn't. Also a stupid thing to say.

I think the truth is if you could have and were able to you would have. Fact is you didn't and couldn't.

One man bands can benefit just as much from automation and systems like go cardless. Perhaps even more than a bigger company as one persons time is limited.

For the record I have never looked down on any one man band. I was one for long enough and there is a lot I miss about it.

I actually feel that more one man bands look down on people that want to be bigger than vice versa.  Just look at the way you KS have hit at me, and for what? Achieving something and learning about a system we should all be using. Well im really sorry my hard work is shot down.

Among the 'bashing' I also applauded you for building your business, you seem to have missed that bit!  You then go on and call me a twat and say I couldn't do this and couldn't do that, well that my friend you will never know, because I prefer to be modest and not brag about the finer things I have achieved in life ;)

Im in long process of getting my clients to pay via online banking and is proving successful and at no charge to myself (as of yet), however it is a pita of a job to search through my paying in section to see whos paid.
Does go cardless send you a report of whos paid as well as the total amounts per day/wk or month?

Yeah. If you use cleaner planner it goes automatically, literally one click of a button takes the money from their bank puts it in yours and updates your records.

 gocardless takes a percentage of each transaction and CP will have to be upgraded to the more expensive version.is it worth it for a sole trader?mmm.......im not sure.BACS is great,standing orders and i have a few SAE still plus minimal collecting(about 3 hours a month tops these days).

i do have to text remind some customers who pay by BACS though which is sometimes a PITA.

if i could get ALL my customers on gocardless or standing order it d be great but i have lots of different types of customers.im still undecided whether to offer it yet as BACS/standing orders are  free and are pretty hassle free.

any problems with gocardless at times?
price higher/work harder!

anyone running a franchise business use Go Cardless?

How have you set it up,  Franchisor as admin then franchisees as users?
