Ive just had a call from a mum wanting care for her three year old daughter four days a week.
All was going well with the call, until she dropped the bomb shell, and told me 'she wanted to pay in arrears at the end of each half term' ??????? when I explained that MY payment terms were invoice and payment at the beginning of the month, she then said 'but im giving you some business, so surely payment should be on my terms (ie on the mums terms)'.
I could not believe it.
I tried to explain, MY business, MY terms, MY choice of which child i would take on.
Mum was adamant she was doing me a favour ??? hense neither or us were willing to continue the conversation.:panic:
