Ians, you gonna have to grow some very thick skin, and cite yourself up, to immediately say "NO I CAN ONLY DO IT ONCE PAYMENT IS RECEIVED" or "SORRY SIR I CAN NOT CONTINUE UNTIL YOUR ACCOUNT IS UP TO DATE", once payment is received, your next statement will be "SORRY SIR< BUT OUR COMPANY POLICY HAS CHANGED AND WE NO LONGER ENTERTAIN OR HAVE ACCOUNTS AND WORK STRICTLY ON A COD BASIS< WITH A DEPOSIT UP FRONT FOR MATERIALS".

I only have 3 accounts now, who are excellent payers, and have never questioned my price or work ethic. I bend over backwards for them, because they are always on time with their payments, and are reasonable customers when something goes wrong. The rest are COD with deposits when it is a special and I have to buy out raw materials I would normally not use.
