[QUOTE="kerching, post: 464257, member: 11861"] What Deke said +1 i don't advertise i don't have a website because I am with TalkTalk my number is not in the phone book my 'van' is not sign written any new customers come by recommendation from at least 2 unrelated sources...then I decide if I want to do the work or not if it feels .01% wrong I won't touch it, even if they offer to pay upfront. Been caught ONCE , that was enough I have been doing this job for a very very long time so fortunately I have built up a very good client base...on the downside of this I work on trust. I have never credit checked a client, I wouldn't know how to. I do little or no domestic work BUT my commercial clients seek me out because they need me....so they trust me to do the job and I trust them to pay me so far it's worked ok BUT I can see the need for people starting out and wanting to know that the client has the money to pay...even if they don't want to just rambling and taking hints from mr merlot...he hasn't been around for a while [/QUOTE]
