I love my job, and love creating designs/websites that help promote a cause, a business, a sports team, school group, etc. Most days at Swell are awesome. But I guess we all have those things we have to handle as business owners, that aren't so fun.
For me that's collections. :(
Luckily we have been blessed with numerous clients who appreciate the work we do, and reciprocate by paying on time... or in some cases "before the ink has even dried" on their invoices (you know who you are!) :) But every once in a while we run in to those who just don't seem to be able to/or want to pay their bills.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not referring to someone being a little late... we've all done that. We understand busy schedules, and how sometimes even the best of us can overlook one item on our lengthy todo lists. I'm talking about those who seem to have no intention of ever compensating us for the hard work we have done... in most cases work we have done that has resulted in gains of some type (financial or otherwise) for their entity.
That said, we'd love to know your experiences with collections, and if any of you have tried and true methods that work for you? We do a ton of B2B work, so we know some of you out there have had to deal with these types of things in the past.
So, let us know... you never know... what works for you could work for us, or even another of our Facebook friends who is dealing with a dispute over payment. Share away!!!
Thanks for reading, and as always... Have a SWELL Day!
