Prioritizing Payment Over Work
TODO: collapasable, copyable, download, etc
I delivered some work in June that I have still not been paid for. The client has more work for me to do. How do I tell them gently that I am prioritizing other projects until I get paid. Maintaining a professional tone while ensuring your boundaries are respected is crucial. Here's a suggestion for how you might phrase this:
Dear [Client's Name],
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to touch base regarding the work I delivered in June. As of now, I haven't received the payment for that project.
While I value our working relationship and am eager to continue collaborating with you on upcoming tasks, I need to prioritize other commitments until the previous payment is settled.
I'm keen to get started on the new work you've mentioned as soon as we've addressed this. Please let me know how we can expedite the payment process so that we can keep things moving smoothly.
Thank you for your understanding.
Warm regards,
[Your Name]
Remember, it's important to stand your ground regarding payments, but always maintain a tone of mutual respect and understanding. Most clients will appreciate your professionalism. If payment delays become a recurring issue, however, you might want to consider re-evaluating the terms of your collaboration.
