Tips for getting paid on time
- Send the invoice the day the job is done; waiting a week makes the customer wait a week too.
- Put the due date on the invoice as a date, not "net 15", so nobody has to count.
- Match the invoice lines to the estimate the customer approved, so there are no surprises.
