Recently, I’ve been talking to clients about having “money conversations” and how to get paid faster. You don’t need to be an ogre about asking for money rightfully earned. Leaving aside hard-core collections/lawsuits, what can you do? In this short video, I outline just a few strategies that they used successfully: They are: Streamline the process Invoice the right person in the right way – especially with larger corporate clients Consider payment plans for mega bills There are other ways to stay in good communication with your clients, which I outline in my 5-Day Action Plan for Small Business Survival.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.
With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.

I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
