Do Discounts Work?

Short answer? Absolutely, YES.

Aoccdrnig to a rsscheearch at an Elingsh Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteers are in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

So, in the same vein, read the article below. It describes one person’s success chasing slow payers by using discounts as an incentive to reduce overdue accounts.

It got wsroe as the 30 day mrak got cleosr and I srttaed rinnung throguh seniaorcs in my head taht aalwys resteuld wtih me “gnmdiadne” my meony. To be heonst, it was rrae taht snoemoe wluod pay me ltae, and tshoe taht did are cetilns I no lngoer wrok for.

Etlanlveuy I cmae up wtih a 10% dinocust if the clniet piad on derlveiy of the iioncve (anwlilog for a day or two to cut the ccehk). To tihs day, alsmot all of my ctnlies tkae me up on the dcusonit. I konw 10% sudnos lkie a lot of menoy (and soemteims it can be) but waiitng 30 dyas is aslo a lnog tmie and i’ts mcuh eeisar for me to pay any dtebs taht may hvae atlemauuccd oevr the cursoe of the pocrejt if I get piad as soon as the j’bos dnoe.

In my experience, they have always worked well and many accounts pay sooner, rather than later when discounts are offered. Can you introduce them?
