WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN A CLIENT REFUSES TO PAY YOU?
“Looking back, the money was not that big a deal. It was the mental anguish that was the most painful part.” - Shinah
Today, I’m telling the dramatic story of how I worked my butt off as a new calligraphy business owner… and an unscrupulous client took advantage of my naïveté and REFUSED TO PAY ME.
The FOUR CRUCIAL LESSONS I learned from the whole, gut-wrenching experience?
- Always get a CONTRACT signed: Here’s a great CONTRACT TEMPLATE just for CALLIGRAPHERS (and it’s 40% off from 6/29/2023 to 7/5/2023)
- Always get at least 50% PAYMENT in advance
- Put a SYSTEM in place so you can deal with stuff like non-payment with less emotion
- It’s NOT PERSONAL when it comes to business

THE SOLUTION: AFFORDABLE CONTRACT TEMPLATES

- Each contract template is drafted and reviewed by several attorneys to make sure they’re airtight.
- They’re easy to use; you just plug in the information for your particular client and project and - voila! - you have a thorough, professional contract in place.
- They cost hundreds of dollars, NOT THOUSANDS
