These are good rules.
Regarding Number 6, when a supplier collects payments in advance from
customers, it's no longer just his money at risk but theirs, too. The
dynamics change dramatically. Comments like "Where is my model?" and
"This is not what you promised!" are common. Customers essentially
become co-owners of the process.
