A short conversational clip from a YouTube video (uploaded by Mike Andes) in which two speakers discuss a Christmas light installation company's unpaid jobs (noting about $80,000 in unpaid work) and emphasize the need for prompt payment when services are performed. The exchange frames timely payment as essential to cash flow and business survival.
This Christmas light installation company has $80,000 worth of jobs that the customers haven't even paid for. And they wonder why they're going out of business.
I'll get to a point where they haven't paid it and they're on the schedule, and I'm like, go put them up. Because. Because it's guaranteed. Once they're up on the house, I'm gonna get paid.
Look, you aren't a bank. When you perform services and you've already paid your employees and paid for materials, you've got to get paid right away.
Annoying as like, why am I chasing. Why are you making me work to get my money? The game of business is you want to and you want to collect as fast as possible.
