Getting Paid

Set clear payment terms and follow up consistently to get paid on time.

Set yourself up for success:

1. Use shorter payment terms - Net 7 or Net 14 instead of Net 30
2. Add payment instructions - Clear bank details or payment links
3. Send immediately - Don't delay sending invoices after completing work
4. Mark as paid - Update status when paid so you track cash flow accurately

When payment is late:

• Check your invoice list regularly for overdue payments
• Send a polite reminder (most late payments are just forgotten)
• Follow up consistently - weekly reminders work
