Northwind Coffee rejects monthly invoicing — quarterly in advance only
Every engagement since 2024 has been quarterly in advance. Monthly terms have been declined three times.
The record
Northwind's finance lead has turned down monthly billing at each renewal, most recently in July, and treats being asked again as a sign we are not reading our own notes. Their stated reason is internal approval overhead, not cash. Propose quarterly in advance as the default on every Northwind renewal and price it as the standard term rather than a concession.
