Collect a deposit: (Commercial Tips)

It is critically important that you collect a deposit:

• So that your client is on the journey with you. i.e. you are both incentivised to reach the same outcome
• So that you can pay your suppliers (on time).
• So that you are not held to ransom.
• So that you can actually do the job, to the standards which you are attaching your name / reputation to.
• So that you don’t have to BS people – so that when you say you will pay, you can actually do so.
