We've all been there. "I'm totally in. I'll pay next monday" ... Monday rolls around... nothing. 🙄 Ghosted. Excuses. Change of date. We've heard it all. The answer? Take deposits 💵 When they give you a verbal yes, get a small financial commitment. 👉🏼 "Excited to work with you, and totally get [REASON FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY TODAY]. Let's do this. Instead of paying the full amount today, Let's set you up with a $XXX deposit. This will save your spot with us, at it's current price. and this deposit will be credit towards your final amount - and then on [DATE] when you're ready to pay [AMOUNT] I already have your card details and we can get you set up without going back & forth, so we can get you moving faster. Sound fair enough?" We ended up doing $300 deposits in the end. Try it, tweak it, see what works for you. 🤝🏽 But don't settle for a verbal yes, always get a $ commitment. What are your thoughts?
