Another quick tip that we’ll be implementing this year: Determine which of your services can work well with upfront payments, then make it as easy as possible to collect upfront payments at the start of a project. In particular, we’ll be utilizing Android apps that allow us to create and deliver quotes on the spot, as well as accept payments via QR codes on the spot. This means that as soon as we get a “yes” in a consultation, we can take our new client through a quick and convenience sign-up process without wasting any time.
Experience shows that the longer you give potential clients to think about your product or service after they’ve been convinced, the less likely they are to get on board. So making the sign-up process quick, simple and available on the go can help get those payments in and get you to work quickly!
