After you have negotiated with a client and you agreed to render the service that you specialize in. What should come first?

Do you request for payments first or you would have to complete job before you asked to be paid?
 
It depends on who am dealing with, most times I prefer they pay me first or pay part of it before I start the job. This shows their level of seriousness.

It is not a bad approach. That is you being proactive. Some customers are not serious even when they have told you they need your services.

Yes, there was a time I went ahead to do a job without payment. After the job the client gave me serious headache and refused to pay.
