Topic: Business
Time Investment: 2 Minutes
Suggested Product: Photography Contract Bundles
Y’all know from listening to me that contracts are important. I’m super proud of y’all using these legal protection + customer expectation setting tools BUT I’ve seen some issues arise by taking monies from clients prior to their signing of contract. ALWAYS have a contract.
ALWAYS have the client read and agree to it before you take any monies. -informed potential clients = confident potential clients = easier conversion to client status -avoid the hassle of having to refund if you and client aren’t able to agree on contract terms -contracts also act as a qualifier for serious clients.
Keep at it, friends. You’re doing great things by protecting your biz - lets just fine tune your administration of them!
