I recently had a thing where I was the person with the money and the person was the one who was doing the work. The situation started that they knew that I have money, blah blah. They pitched me on helping me with a project that I would have in time for a client presentation. It was agreed that I would pay them after I got my payment but then later agreed that I would pay them regardless if it sold or not.
Where my issue is: They did a half assed job and didn't complete everything that was needed to complete the task. The sale fell through
This morning after my meeting, they asked me how it went. I told them, then they wanted to know if I needed their Western union info.
We got into it and they were like after awhile, said 'Well after I get the money, I'll completely dedicate every waking second to getting this off the ground and help find buyers."
I told them that i felt like I wasted money and time plus I said I felt manipulated as the initial agreement was supposed to be that I would pay after the buyer paid. They responded by telling me that Shit happens and not every business deal goes through. Now, one thing I have learned from WF is to be very assertive to get your point across. I knew the buyer would buy, it just needed it to cleaned up and tidy'ed up.
The kid proceeded to tell me that I needed to prove that I was worth it, but in my brain. I feel that he should have proved himself to me because at the end of the day, I am the one risking the money and buyers.
I just feel used and I feel like I just threw my money in the toilets.
