You’ll need to work out a cycle of when to go and restock your product and collect what’s owing to you. All you have to do is check what stock is left against your original list.
As you work through your round you will find that some retailers will already have done a stock take and have either a check or cash ready for you, while others will be in state of complete chaos and might even say they can’t pay you today as they haven’t enough money in the till or some other excuse, which is why it’s so important to have the agreed date entered on your original stock sheet.
What to do if they don’t pay
It’s important to have a pre-agreed date so that if you have problems you can remind them that you did check with them to make sure it was a convenient date to return. Don’t get angry or demanding as there may actually be a genuine reason why the retailer can’t pay you. Prior to your arrival he might have had to pay an unexpected bill or has simply had a poor week’s sales takings.
My advice would be to check your stock and replenish where necessary and then agree another date to return. If after this date you’re still having problems then you’d be wise to pull out and cut your losses. If the amount that you are owed is large then you should seek to recover your money via the small claims court or by employing a specialist debt recovery firm.
