I’ve noticed a pattern with my multi-location clients. The ones I manage efficiently tend to pay on time more often. It’s like staying organized helps them stay on top of bills too.
Anyone else see this connection in their freelance work? Curious if it’s just coincidence or if there’s something to it.
Yep, there’s something to that. When you handle multiple locations smoothly, it shows you’re on top of things. Clients respect that.
I’ve found clear invoices for each spot and a simple system make it easy for them to pay. No confusion, no excuses.
Just keep it straightforward and stay on their radar. It usually pays off.
Makes sense. When you keep track of stuff for them, they probably appreciate it. Might remind them to pay on time too. Just keep it simple and clear for each place.
Yeah, I’ve seen that pattern too. Clients with multiple spots who’ve got their act together usually pay up without hassle. It’s not rocket science. When you’re on top of their different locations, invoicing is cleaner and they can’t use confusion as an excuse. Plus, organized folks tend to be organized across the board. They respect your system because they’ve got one too. Just keep things simple, bill clearly for each location, and don’t let stragglers slide. Good management on your end makes it easier for them to do right by you.
Totally get what you’re saying. I’ve noticed the same thing with my multi-location customers.
When I keep their different spots straight in my books, they tend to pay faster. It’s like good organization is contagious.
I use a basic spreadsheet to track each location separately. Makes invoicing clearer and helps me spot who’s falling behind.
One time, I had a client with 3 stores who always paid late. Started breaking down my invoices by location, and suddenly they were on time. Turned out the owner just needed to see which store was dragging its feet.
Not saying it’s magic, but being on top of things definitely helps. Shows you’re serious about your business, and they usually respond in kind.
You’re onto something there. I’ve definitely seen this play out with my clients too.
When I keep their different locations straight, it’s like I’m doing half their job for them. They appreciate it, even if they don’t say it.
A few things I’ve found helpful:
It’s extra work, but it pays off. Literally.
The clients who struggle with multiple spots are usually the ones who pay late. They’re drowning in details.
By being organized for them, you’re making their life easier. And people tend to prioritize paying the folks who make their lives easier.
Just my two cents from years of juggling multi-location gigs. Keep it simple, keep it clear, and watch those payments roll in on time.
Never thought about it. I just do jobs where people call me.
