Recurring problems in our business
Is it me, or does everyone have recurring problems that come up… just when you thought you solved them for good.
I’ll start off with most ridiculous one first:
Late payments: Why is it, that customers (and I’m talking about school customers) feel it’s okay to not pay any invoices because the of school holidays?
One in particular has responded (by email) with something along the lines of "I can post a cheque when school starts again on 3rd September, so you should have it at the end of the week. Because of all schools being closed in the summer holidays people are not at work and our cheque book is in the safe."
Sods law and broken promises: More often than not, when we get a rush job, we order up something from our suppliers (with a day or so spare) and that’s the order that gets delayed or completely forgotten about. I’m looking at you, Blackburns!
Tell me it’s not just us…
