269: š¦ āI am not a bankā ā Strategies for Getting Corporate Clients to Pay on Time with Joey Coleman
āI donāt get on the airplaneāand definitely not the stageāunless all invoices are paid in full.ā
When my friend and fellow keynote speakerĀ Joey ColemanĀ 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 doesnāt fall apart if they havenāt paid in time? What about clients who work for highly bureaucratic companies that insist on their āstandardā net-120 terms?
In this illuminating conversation, Joey shares his best practices for getting paid on timeāevery time by setting, stating, and upholding better boundaries (and contracts) with clients.

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 Joeyās 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.
