Delaying
Delaying occurs for many reasons. When there is an upward spike in business there is little recourse except tell the client there is a delay. Delaying is usually facilitated by creative or enlightened lying. The harsh truth would destroy the client base, thus, there is an impetus to soften the reality of what is happening by lying. Tactical delaying commonly occurs for the purposes of putting off unprofitable or undesirable work. Some aspects of business are simply not as profitable as others. The delaying tactic is used in hopes some customers will simply go away. Delaying is a tactic used at the corporate level to collect the interest on money owed clients. If an insurance company delays a billion dollars in payments an extra month the interest on that billion dollars invested is considerable. The same is true of escrow businesses who have motive to delay the transfer of funds when a sale is in escrow.
