Purchase Order Sep 30, 2010

Hi,

Sometimes it's hard for me to ask for a PO in advance because I trust that the person hiring me will pay at the end, especially when the person is someone I know for quite some time. Could you give me tips for how to ask it in advance from a potential client / agency ?

Thanks & regards,
Yulia

Various formats of PO Oct 1, 2010

I met with the situation you did after asking frequently for a PO. PO format is arbitrary. Agencies can say that its e-mail is the formal PO. Let's store the PO strictly to ensure your invoice and collecting payment!
