How to Politely Tell Clients to PAY UP

How to Politely Tell Clients to PAY UP

I really got a kick out of this explainer vid.

Check it out and tell us what you think.

I’m not plugging Zencash here at all, I just love their process of keeping on outstanding “invoicees”.

I mean, who doesn’t like to get paid on time, right?

  • They start with a polite thank-you shortly after an invoice is delivered. (“We aren’t going to forget about you, dear client!”)
  • Then a friendly reminder just before the due date. (“Yep, we haven’t forgot. Don’t forget about us.”)
  • Past due — Hey, you’re a couple weeks past due. Is the check in the mail? (“We want our money, but we’re still at the point where comic relief is offered”)
  • Way past due — collections.

Pretty hard for anyone to claim they “forgot” the payment was due either, right?

Wouldn’t it be nice if all our bill collectors provided such a friendly and comprehensive approach?

Are there any methods you’ve found work as well, or better than Zencash’s?
