Monthly billing or paid per visit?

[RyanD]

Which works best for you guys?

We do not have time to collect every visit. We have lots of old people and they will keep you there forever talking. It gets billed every other week or monthly. just a handful pay every time.

i do both only clients that have a nsf do the pay per visit and its cash /money order only for them

all my accounts, even the commercial, are billed at the beginning of each month for all visits during the previous month. I personally like it this way.

Tape checks to the door every mow, with about a dozen that I bill every month. Next year going with CC's.

Hi RyanD,

If some of your customers want to pay you per visit on the spot, good for you. No collection worries then :)

I saw so much abuse at other companies I worked for when I started I made it part of my routine to get a monthly pre payment. Right now we are billing for Oct. labor/base rate and incidentals from Sept. light bulbs, fert, flowers etc. I have only had it be an issue one time in 3+ years and that guy was a contractor who probably would have screwed me. Some of the most profitable jobs are the ones you don't get. If the jobs are hard to bid /irregular I do the work on a T&M basis I get a 1,200.00 retainer just like my attorney has from me. If you think about it I really don't get paid too far in advance. We mail out bills tomorrow, clients get them mon-wed. next week say the 6th. maybe if I'm luck they will sit down on the 10th sat. and cut me a check and drop it in the mail and with a little luck I will get the check before the 15th. We all work to hard to work for free.
