I just found it to be an accounting nightmare since I didn't want to get paid for hours I didn't use for the client. As my business has evolved over the years, it has just worked better for me to either invoice at the end of the project, or the end of the month. I have really great clients, and am very picky about who I work with, so luckily, I don't have to deal with this a lot. For me, it's mostly about getting to the bottom of the client's problem or objection. Communication is so key to my relationship with my clients, and many times the isses are easily resolved just by finding out where they're coming from. Thanks so much for your comments. Wishing you all the best. :) Jeannine Thanks, Gazelle -

Put your clients on a retainer that pays you in advance for your work and keeps you from having to deal with invoicing issues such as these. Take care and God bless.
