Dealing with non/slow payers

[Ken Knapp]

That would make sense to do. From my experience there are some really talented non-payers out there. The really good ones either make the rounds through all the businesses in the area, not paying each one or else don't pay until they need you again. Thus you'll die with them owing you for one time!

  I like and second Randy Potter's idea about informing other local piano technicians about the accounts that don't pay.  In the musician's union, there is what is called a "Do not perform for or with" list.  If a club owner or band leader stiffs someone, their name goes on this list and stays on the list until the member is paid.  It worked surprisingly well, especially for habitually irresponsible night club owners.  Maybe this is something we could enact nationally but control locally?  (Not every chapter has a website/newsletter.)  Just a thought . . .
