The Follow-Up Strategy
Don't be afraid to ask for your money. You earned it.
- Day 1 (Due Date): Friendly reminder. "Just a heads up, this invoice is due today."
- Day 7 (Overdue): Polite inquiry. "Did you receive the invoice? Please let me know if there are issues."
- Day 14 (Late): Firm reminder. "We still haven't received payment. Please settle this immediately."
