Fired! 50% (or less) up front ONLY - no matter who it is.
In the last 6 months I have paid about $10,000USD in services to writers, copywriters and programmers. I have NEVER once jilted anyone, but I do demand prompt service with ongoing communication. I would have kept this guy for other jobs in spite of his disorganization but he simply went too far today.
Here are the last few lines of our conversation -
Marty says:Needless to say, from his last statements, I am glad I nipped this in the bud. So unprofessional. I will not give his name to anyone on this forum, but I will say that you should not pay anyone more than 50% up front until you really start to know them. This guy wanked himself out of another $550 and quite likely future work as well.
You have changed YOUR tone for some reason, I do not know why.
C.E.T says:
Fine but don't talk to me like you do.
Marty says:
Everytime we connect, I have to bring you up to speed on what we were doing, what we agreed upon, and where is the next stage of the work you said you were doing...
C.E.T says:
Just watch the arrogance, I don't deal with it well.
Marty says:
I have no idea what is up with you, up until now, I just thought you were overly busy and took on too much. Now I feel you have no idea how to treat, manage or communicate with your clients.
Very disspaointing.
Marty says:
I feel like I am not speaking to C.E.T right now.
C.E.T says:
You are. Just look back at the way you talk to me. It's disrespectful. And I don't respond well
to disrespectful people.
Marty says:
I dont respond well to people working for me, whom I have to remind about the job at hand every conversation!
Marty says:
I will take it from here, if you wish and do the autoresponders myself.
C.E.T says:
That sounds about right, wait until the end and back out. That's what I was waiting for...
C.E.T says:
I'm editing this thing as we speak...to make sure I make you happy.
Marty says:
You are inviting it sir. I just took a look at this convo again, and cannot figure out where you are coming from.
C.E.T says:
So what do you want to do. I'm editing everything now. If you want me to stop and do it yourself, let me know now.
Marty says:
I would like you to apologize for your attitude towards me today, and supply a firm commitment for finishing the sales letter, affiliate sales page, and the three auto-responders as per the project requirements. I would also like this done without me having to remind you about what needs to be done and when. Can you do that?
C.E.T says:
Just let me know if I should continue to work on this. It's open on my computer now.

Marty says:
Thanks for your efforts thus far. Unfortunately, as a result of this conversation your services will no linger be required. All the best.
C.E.T says:
Please tell me you are kidding.
C.E.T says:
I am not sure what "linger" means in your last statement, but I will be looking for you in the poker forums and will gladly tell everyone what I think of MTTKPAK (great name).
