Client wants to pay a month in advance?
« on: 30 July 2015, 01:06:53 pm »
Hi,

I have seen this particular client a number of times and he is lovely. He contacted me recently to ask whether I'd be prepared to take payment in advance on a monthly basis? I don't know why, but I feel a bit uncomfortable with this? Has anyone taken payment in advance (I don't mean deposits)?

Thanks x

Did you ask why he has this preference?

If he's not great at saving so wants to give it to you soon as he's paid I can understand that.

Best thing to do is ask him why and see if you're comfortable with his answer

He could be after more of an "arrangement" set up. So client pays an allowance rather than a fee every time you meet.

Some prefer this way as it feels less like a service, more sd/sb relationship.

It would probably be a good idea to clarify exactly what he's paying for: Whether it would be a certain number of bookings over the month of a specified length (ie. every Tuesday at noon for an hour), or if he expects to give you a lump sum and then be able to see you as many times as he likes.

I used to have a client who would send an amount each month and make his booking later, we agreed an amount and the time he'd book. It was always on a 'if and when you are available' and was not held over me, and I think it's important that is made clear. I also always gave him the time, sometimes it ran over into the next month, but I always made sure we caught up.

I don't see a reason for him doing this, unless he wants to become a sugar daddy and give you a false sense of having a lot of cash and then get his bookings at a discounted rate. If he wants to see you, it's just as easy to bring the money with him every time he makes a booking. I don't like this 'arrangement' business, as then you end up feeling like you owe him something, and feel like you need to fit him in, whatever your schedule. Also gets's complicated when you need to remember how many bookings he's already had, how much time has he used up etc etc. just too much hassle

I agree with this.

If I were given 4x my hourly rate to cover four bookings over the next month I would spend that money and then, no matter how irrational it is, I would feel as if I were working for free. Or I would feel obligated to see him on a day when I feel like taking off and doing something else.

I'd find it flattering that someone would trust me enough to give me a months bookings in advance. I've never done it though but I would probably worry about him wanting to ease more time out of me for free. As long as you stay in control of it I don't see a problem. Just make sure you note his bookings in your diary so he doesn't try & take the P; but you never know & you could even find that you are earning more out of the arrangement in the long run.  ;)

Thank you for all the replies. I decided to clarify the situation with him. He has explained that he struggles to get the payment together for each visit and had a win on some kind of gambling thing (lottery?!) and so wanted to "spend it wisely when he had it to hand" - his words not mine! I have agreed to it on the basis that we have scheduled in the meets and we've both agreed to be flexible if needs be. I'll see how this goes but can't say I'd be eager to do it again (despite the fact it's very flattering as Emma C says).

Thanks for all your help x
