There's usually a bit of a learning curve involved, but if the client is willing to be flexible about the way they've "always done things," it can turn into a very good business relationship. :)Kimberly Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163102442191692386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299053910466115973.post-56225829526026968852012-05-16T11:32:51.720-04:002012-05-16T11:32:51.720-04:00Great phrase, Kim!

He isn't used to working with contractors, so it wasn't surprising that he said "The contract looks good. We're good to go!" without signing it. LOL His "good to go" email may have stood up in court, but I don't take any chances. <br /><br />I said "Great! As soon as you can fax a copy of the signed contract back to me, we can get going." The deposit came two days ago as that was part of the contract, too. I'd already started on the work because I had the contract, but he didn't know that. :)Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045985667596964511noreply@blogger.com
