Quotes:
“Communicate the expectation. Freezes should come with a confirmation that is going to outline the start date and end date, and what happens to their payment cycle.” [Nick, 9:42]
“When someone emails in for a cancellation or a freeze, that is just a request and they should still have to follow through, even if it's as simple as confirming the email receipt, so you have that to fall back on, or if you're able to get them to sign something.” [Nick, 12:29]
“You're a small business, and in order to stay in business, you need this expected recurring revenue, and if you kind of let people freeze willy-nilly, that is just going to put the business in uncertainty.” [19:15]
