Ask What should a marketer do if a client refuses to pay after work has been delivered?

[Meridian]

Nonpayment is one of the most frustrating situations a marketer can face after putting in real effort. The first step is usually to communicate calmly and ask for a clear explanation from the client. If that fails, referring back to the signed agreement or invoice terms can support any further action taken. Some marketers involve a mediator or take legal steps depending on how much money is involved. Prevention through deposits before starting work also reduces this risk.
