    50/50 is nice, but most of my clients are not willing to go that route.

    One plan that seems to keep everyone happy is the 30/30/30. Spreading the payments out a little more seems to ease the burden on the client.

    Whatever you do, be very careful about a NET 30. I've had situations where NET 30 turned into NET 120. With the job completed, there was no reason for them to pay.

    Instead of a NET 30, try "payment due upon completion of services." This way you can hold on to the work until they can pay you.

    Hope this helps--

    Frank
