Yes @Yoli I agree on the research, and we do that. I also agree on canceling when you see negative info bc likely there is more out there.
But it's the new, never heard of folks I am not sure how to vet. I only have a few services that give regular work, so having to vet unknowns is where I am stumped. The idea that I am expected to work for free and extend credit terms to unknown players is mystifying to me. In my FT job we would never sell and give terms without a credit app, review of D&B, signed agreements.
But in this space we are expected to take people at their word.
It just seems ironic. We are in a role to verify identity for real legal purposes but then expected to just offer terms blindly on honor. |
