âI donât get on the airplaneâand definitely not the stageâunless all invoices are paid in full.â
When my friend and fellow keynote speaker Joey Coleman said this to me over coffee, I started drilling him for details: Really?! How do you have the nerve to say that to a speaking client?! How do you avoid caving in to make sure their event doesnât fall apart if they havenât paid in time? What about clients who work for highly bureaucratic companies that insist on their âstandardâ net-120 terms?
In this illuminating conversation, Joey shares his best practices for getting paid on timeâevery time by setting, stating, and upholding better boundaries (and contracts) with clients.
More About Joey: As an award-winning speaker for over twenty years, Joey Coleman works with organizations around the world ranging from small startups to major brands such as Volkswagen Australia, Zappos, and Whirlpool. His First 100 DaysÂź methodology fuels the remarkable experiences his clients deliver and dramatically improves their profits.
It is unbelievably challenging to start and run your own business. Because you are so bold to do that, give yourself permission to courageously set your boundaries. The more clear and comfortable you are stating how to work with you and holding firm when pushed, the happier you will be as a business owner, and the longer you will be in business.
Try Joeyâs approach to sharing the investment for working together. List a range on your website, and the first time your desired client learns how much it costs to work with you should be hearing it from you, not reading a document.
