Job closes, invoice goes out. Not paid in 7 days, a polite reminder. Day 14, another. Day 30, you get a list of who to call. You stop being the one who asks for money.
Invoice emailed and texted with a pay link. Most people pay from their phone before dinner.
“Friendly reminder — invoice #1042 is open. Here's the link.” No tone, no drama.
You get a short list: who, how much, how long. That's your one call to make.
The number one reason invoices go unpaid is they went out late. This one goes out the day the work's done.
Three, spaced out, in your voice. You approve the wording once.
Card or bank, one tap. The less friction, the sooner the money.
Invoiced, paid, overdue — one email every Friday. You know where you stand before the weekend.
