Client: Btw I'm paying my invoice on full next month. Please let me know what Web hosting for another year is going to be.
Me: If you pay the invoice in full, hosting for 2012 is waived.
Client: Okay, Captain Generosity.

Stay Late & Starve?

One of my clients works during the day, so to meet with him, I agreed to stay late at the office, he thoughtfully brought me dinner.

A developer wrote his proposal for me in code

count = 0;for every time (My Company is served by Your Services){ if (time.isRelatedTo(research) && isWorthwhile(time)) count++;}

if (count * avgTimeValue >= 60 minutes) My Company.pay(Your Services); 
if (count * avgProjectValue >= Proposed Estimate) My Company.pay(Your Services); 

function isWorthwhile(time){ return time benefits company significantly or time overcomes My Company weakness or time gets My Company butts //after all it’s good for us and My Company}

Compensate for using my headspace

“hey, I drug this out an extra week and put us off schedule so I am going to go ahead and pay half of the final bill, so you aren’t feeling so bad about waiting on me to close this project.”

Responsible, Prompt, Generous

Client: Hey while I am paying you for this invoice is there an outstanding balance?
Me: Yes. (Names amount)
Client: Okay let me add that, how about I pay you a retainer for a little additional work?
Me: Sure.
Client: That comes to $2,750.00. Let's just round it to an even $3K.

After accepting my bid on a large project

My client let me know they thought it was a little low and added several thousand dollars to the contract.

Going out of the way for each other

I asked my client if he could pay on an invoice as soon as possible, he said “You need paid?” and agreed to meet me on his lunch break with a check.

I recieved a check in the mail on time, and the client paid double the invoice with a note that said “you are worth twice the price”
