You need to have the upper hand in the situation. 3675 Post 2008-05-31T01:08:58-04:00 94688 1219 2008-05-31T01:08:58-04:00 <blockquote><cite>collisiontheory said:</cite> Yes normally after i show them initial designs. 50% downpayment</blockquote> that seems like a good way to work it 3675 Post 2008-06-01T23:18:03-04:00 95931 1217 2008-06-01T23:18:03-04:00 If it's a new client, yes.
