Hi ladies
I don't have a problem with any of my other clients about payments except one.
She has also become a friend and that's where I feel the problem is.
When she started getting her nails done, she would say I'll drop off money and she would within a few days. Then it got to paying for her last appointment when she came in for her new appointment.
That's 2 weeks later I got payment from her.
This last time it's been 4-5 weeks.
When she had her 2nd appointment she said I'll pay you by the end of the week for both appointments. I text her asking when she's going to do bank transfer, then she goes please can I wait another week!
Waited another week and I had to text her again to ask when she's paying. She said sorry for inconvenience this time it's because she's changed her job and she only gets paid on the 24th dec.
She then got her hubby to drop £25 off to me and she said she'll sort out the rest by the end of the week.
And she's got another appointment booked in next week.
I want to word a text message as if it's going out in a bulk message.
Something on the lines of
"In the New Year I will only be taking Cash or bank transfer payments on the day of the appointment. As I am a small business I cannot afford to give credit."
Does this sound harsh?
