I tried the "net 30 then follow up once" thing on a $2,300 invoice and the client ghosted me for 6 weeks

Had a week where two clients ghosted after signing, but one paid a $300 deposit, so is asking for deposits upfront the real test or just luck?

Pro tip: I almost passed on the client who haggled me down to $1500 because he seemed cheap, turns out he was just testing me

Everyone here says phone calls are a red flag, but the worst client I ever had sent me 14 emails before we ever talked, and the one guy who called first turned out fine

A client in Phoenix said my invoices read like a ransom note, so I added one line and got paid in 4 days
