Audiomichael,
When doing corporate gigs do you have to go through hoops to get paid?
Here in NYC you have to go through a corporate agency or whoever books you so it makes it tougher.
Its not like you can call AT&T, Verizon or Volkswagen and ask to get their accounts department.
If you do they will be give you the...
So you have to go through a seperate agency that has to get paid first and then you get paid.
Don't get me wrong eventually you will get paid, but you can't just tell them you won't do any business with them until you get a check.
Its corporate business that deals with millions, so they don't don't understand what's the hassle over a few measly hundreds or thousands.
