Billing
For me, billing is a thing of the past for the most part. Why should i enable a payment plan for services rendered when if the tables were turned they'd want their money pronto? I used to send it out, and they'd have at least 30 days to pay. When i do work for the local Parks and Rec. for whatever reason they say they have the right to pay in 30 days, but actually takes me about 14 for them to pay me. They are the only exception for me. Now if ya go get a cake made, oil changed, chiropractor, windows washed, yada, yada,yada services are rendered to you the customer and yep they want there money right on the spot! So us tree guys should be no different, we work our freakin arses off, recieve borderline profits, pay enormous freakin overhead, deal with the headaches and we more than deserve a check in hand when the equipment meets the freakin pavement! If the people are so broke to not be able to pay on the spot, then why in the world am i there in the first place? And that brings me to another point, Why do em a favor? We just need to do our jobs well, timely and as close to proper standards as possible and get our money when done. Life is too short and running a biz too stressful at times to be added to by more stress of "Joe Smukatelly" not wantin to pay .
