Last month, I did a number of signings for which I've not been paid. I've never experienced the problem, so I'm not quite sure what's a professional, yet assertive, way of asking for overdue payments. Since I only do this very, very, very, very part-time (whenever I get a call off a board -- I don't market my services), I haven't come up against the problem before. I don't want to alienate SSs that could prove to be 'good' contacts, but I'm incensed (as I've read many of you have been) that I even HAVE to go through the effort to collect what is rightfully due me.
So, do you make your first follow-up contacts phone calls or e-mail -- what do you all think is the best way to go about this.
Also -- just venting here, but I'm incensed at the fact that I even HAVE to request payment for what is rightfully mine. I know I'm not alone here -- I've read some of the other things you all have said along the way.
Well, have a Happy Saturday, everyone and TIA!  |
