I'm not one for much patience, but I do know that in certain fields, you must wait out the results.... delayed gratification. When it comes to getting a job done for us, how long is too long to wait?
I spoke with a friend of mine the other day that was getting a new WordPress site. (She apparently didn't know we did those too) She said she had to put down a $1500 deposit and was on the waiting list until November! WHA? We don't even charge that for an entire site much less a deposit... AND NOVEMBER?
I feel bad if I have to put someone off a week or two but when I heard that, I didn't feel so bad. I typically can take care of business fairly quickly unless I tell you otherwise. There's nothing worse than having a client nudge you and wonder where the work is after they have paid. I cannot sit on a job any longer than I have to and try to get it underway and completed in a timely manner.
So, am I out of my guord here or are people seriously waiting months to get a job done? (And we're not talking short sales here either!)
