Mine are -
1) Always get a deposit up front. I like to split my total fee into thirds (one third up front, one third half way, one third before the handing over of final files), but naturally depends on the client, if its a studio they'll have their own terms.2) Even if you're busy and a dealine isn't for a while, read the entire brief and have a think about it as early as possible. Then even if your not working on it, it will be working it self out in the back of your mind. *high five subconscious*
3)reply to client emails ASAP, even if you can't do what they have asked for another week. I think it helps clients to know you are reachable and active.
Great thread guys, some ace advice in here.
