The faster invoices are sent out and followed up, the greater are your chances of receiving payment. Furthermore, continuous communication with your clients will educate them to pay bills on time and will enrich your relationships with your clients. You will be amazed at how positive your clients will react to a polite automated telephone collection call to ask about a late payment.
Our experience tells us that the longer an invoice stays unpaid, the more difficult it will be to collect and the greater chance that it will remain unpaid. We recommend making several courtesy phone calls rather than sending a series of past-due notices or collection letters. Letters are easier to ignore, while phone calls tend to get better results. |
