Imagine that you're seeking work and I have work for you to do. So I call you in for an interview. After looking over your resume/portfolio I gush about how great your work is and how excited I am to work with you. I explain the duties of your job, approve your desired salary, and tell you the date to report to work. Though you've signed no contract yet, you have formally accepted the job. You prepare for the job by updating your wardrobe (as a certain attire is required), studying the handbook given to you and driving back and forth to unpaid training.
One week before you're to report to work I call and tell you that something has come up and I can't hire you because of a recent snag in the budget. You have invested time and money already and now can't even expect that first check to recoup what you've spent. All you can do is return the clothes you haven't worn and start your search over.
This is pretty much my life when a client books and fails to pay for services.
Don't be that person. Pay when you book, or don't book until you can pay.

Sorry of our life! UGH
