Dispatch fees, retainers, hourly support and property income all depend on invoices going out on time and someone following up.
Pick a day
Monday morning works for many weekly businesses: last week is fresh and the week ahead has not started.
The routine
- Send every invoice for last week's work.
- Check what was paid, and record it.
- Follow up on anything past due, using a set schedule of reminders.
- Check payments received against bank deposits.
- Move the tax set-aside.
Use the same templates
Ready-made emails for reminders and past-due notices make follow-up fast and keep the tone professional.
