Yes – I screen clients pretty aggressively, too. That weeds out about 95% of the issues. About 4% of client billing weirdness comes from me altering my policies to be “nice.” I’ve learned that I can’t do that – at the end of the day, those policies are there to protect both myself and the client. When I start ignoring my own rules, bad things happen…

(At the same time, I’m fortunate and VERY grateful that I’ve only had one bad apple in over 15+ years of self employment.)

Thanks, Glenn, for your comment!

Some clients are OK with your rates, but still get a shock when the bill arrives. This leads to delays in paying and even nonpayment.

As time goes by, I’ve gotten more aggressive in screening clients (I pass on 30% or so) and in getting deposits. Even clients with a history of paying up can go AWOL on you, especially near completion of the project.
