Don't accept "verbal yes's". take deposits instead.

We've all been there.

"I'm totally in. I'll pay next monday"

... Monday rolls around... nothing. 🙄

Ghosted.

Excuses.

Change of date.

We've heard it all.

The answer?

Take deposits 💵

When they give you a verbal yes, get a small financial commitment.

👉🏼 "Excited to work with you, and totally get [REASON FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY TODAY]. Let's do this. Instead of paying the full amount today, Let's set you up with a $XXX deposit.

This will save your spot with us, at it's current price. and this deposit will be credit towards your final amount - and then on [DATE] when you're ready to pay [AMOUNT] I already have your card details and we can get you set up without going back & forth, so we can get you moving faster. Sound fair enough?"

We ended up doing $300 deposits in the end.

Try it, tweak it, see what works for you.

🤝🏽 But don't settle for a verbal yes, always get a $ commitment.
