Struggling to get payment Upfront?

Here are some tips to help your business and income grow:* 🪴

They took away credit accounts because of people who do not pay their accounts on time, or some just disappear and never pay, so they changed it.

🙌 *Transparency:* Be clear about why upfront payment is necessary. For example, we only have pre-pay accounts, and they don't send orders unless fully paid. It’s crucial to explain this to your customers.

You cannot pay upfront for their products, that's why you're selling beauty products to make extra money.

🤝 *Build Trust:* Consistency is key. Always deliver on your promises. When customers see that you reliably provide what they paid for, they'll be more comfortable paying in advance.

🎁 *Incentive* When you see a client supporting you on a monthly basis, give them something for free every now and then—like a sample, hand lotion, or something they haven’t ordered before. They might just order it next time! 😉

🥳 *Testimonials:* Share positive experiences from other customers who paid upfront and received their products without any issues. Social proof can be very convincing.

🩵 *Frequent Updates:* Keep customers in the loop about their order status and specials. Keep a notebook with each customer’s regular orders. When their favorite item is on special, let them know. Inform them when the payment is received and when the order is shipped. Delivery should follow within 3-5 workdays. If there’s a delay, let them know and ask Head Office for an update.

_Example:_ I submit my orders this (date). Please send it to me before then. And there after that day, let them know your order has just been submitted. Delivery should follow within 3-5 work days. And make sure if you deliver then, if not, let them know you're still waiting and ask head office an update.

👩‍🎨 *Professionalism:* Provide a receipt immediately after receiving payment. Order an invoice book and use plastic bags to make your service look very professional. If they pay online, write out a slip and take a picture. This adds credibility and reassures the customer that their money is being handled properly.

💳💸 *Multiple Payment Options:* Offer various payment methods (e.g., Bank transfer, Mobile payments (pay @ payments from the pay@ link), Online payment gateways for example the customer can pay directly into your Avroy Shlain account - ask me about your payment card).

_Convenience can be a significant factor in getting upfront payments._

🎀 *Personal Touch:* Establish a personal connection with your customers. Add a certain colour ribbon on your bag or a beautiful sticker you made with your details. Friendly interactions and follow-ups can build a stronger bond and make them more likely to pay upfront. Give great customer service. 💰

💋 *MY TOP TIP*
> Try to get an order in with the following months brochure/s. 📙
> Get the customers to order from the following months book with this months salary 🎊
> If your order early, the chances of getting items is that the stock is really good, unless something is discontinued 💃🏻
> Check stock before taking the customers' money ❓
> Place the order the same day as checking stock and taking customers' money ⁉
> If you can earn your customers’ trust, your business will flourish, and you’ll be smiling all the way. 😃

*_please take note_* If your customer pays the full amount into your Avroy Shlain account, the money will be in your account as credit when checking out.

Earn their trust, show them your payment card from Avroy Shlain. (ASK ME) or give them your account number and contact details for Head Office, then they can check if you are a Beauty Advisor.

_If you gain a new customers trust, then they will pay into your bank account. You only pay head office the discounted amount, and this means your commission is left in your bank account_🤑

*Implementing these strategies can help you secure upfront payments while maintaining and even enhancing customer trust.*
