For Friends with Projects

If you’re a friend of mine, I probably love you very much. Which is why I would happily have helped you out for free in the past.

But, I discovered recently that working for completely free actually really does do a major whammy on my ability to stay in business. Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that I’ve been very nearly put out of business in the past by doing projects for my friends for free.

Here’s the deal. We’re going to make an agreement here. Even if you can’t pay anything now, you’ll need to agree to an exchange and keep to it, or you won’t be able to get my help in the future. We form a real agreement, with an exchange that works for us, and then I schedule your project in just like my fully paid clients.

If your project is rush, you don’t qualify for lowered rates. You will have to pay full rate, since you’re knocking a full-rate client out of top spot.

    What About a Trade?

    Explain barter idea if any:

    I want you to... at $

    Yes - I am able to prepay in full for an extra discount.No - I am unable to prepay in full.

    The project I need help with is...

    I, , agree that the above is not binding, that all the terms that would normally apply to customers still apply here as per listed terms, and all the discounts will be off the standard rate for the exact kind of project I'm talking about. This is a proposal from me representing my entire group related to this project requesting a lowered rate from full price from MWM. Discounts mentioned above do not stack, instead the best rate will likely apply. Your proposed discounts are subject to approval from MWM prior to being the billable rate. Please note that ALL Discounts are subject to consideration, even long standing ones such as the above. If accepted, you'll be sent a code to use in the future, and your new rate will be applied to all invoices. Rush cancels all discounts because someone who gets billed at full rate gets bounced from near the top of the list when you need rush help. Prepayment in full can increase the discount.
