Title: standing order
Post by: CLEANCARE WC on January 13, 2013, 07:10:02 pm
I have a couple of customers who i have had enough of chasing for payments they always pay eventually but just refuse to adhere to my timescale for payment & always owing 2 cleans etc...

Anyway I have decided that as they obviously can afford to pay but for whatever reason take too long to do it, I will be telling them that im introducing standing order only if they hum and haa then they can pay 6 months upfront, other than that as my mate Tosh would say...Saianaara! (spelling Tosh?  ;D)

Soooo...How do i go about the standing order thing and how will i know when they have actually done it?

give them your bank details, select a date for payment,tell them to set it up thru there internet banking system,use the address as a reference/id so you know who as paid and check you internet banking for payment...then clean.no payment..dump replace

That's the one, or they can phone their bank with your details and set up the payment.

The beauty of this is that you do not get to see their bank details (it's a 'selling point') and should you ever be late, i.e. receive two payments but only clean the once, just refund them in cash.  It's a bit weird cleaning a property and then 'paying the customer' (one of mine joked that he'd put the price up on me next month), but it works out well.
