RE: Which invoice to use and when to use it

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your message and for purchasing the book! Regarding the
paperwork, if a new/prospective client wants a written estimate give them
the Work Proposal form. At the end of your work, use the Invoice (you
choose the format that works best for you 8.5x11 vs. 8.5x11 2up) and have
them sign the invoice stating that the work has been completed to their
satisfaction.

Thanks again and best of luck with your new business!

message: Hi Bob, I really enjoyed your book but had some questions on which
invoice to use when. Also I would be interested in knowing your normal
approach when meeting a client for the first time regarding having them
sign. Do you have the client sign an invoice to begin the work then have
them sign another when you're finished? I just started with a company called
Service Magic, a company that gives you leads and I want to know how to
handle the paperwork so I'm not fumbling around and come off as
unprofessional.
